It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Reddit brained nonsense. These all suck.
So anti-authoritarian
For real though, the most these people could ever accomplish is to be modern Rosa-killers.
"Make sure to mention if you suspect any of them are Jews"
"Guantanamo landlord"
Oh yea rhats deffinitly something that would piss off socialists, criticizing guantanamo bay.
They might actually think Cuba is in charge of Guantanamo.
Doesn't Cuba also refuse to accept rent payments for Guantanamo?

This person has never once called someone any of these things to their face or even online without being anonymous. They've never stood up to or for anything. I would put money on the fact they nevee discuss politics offline, fearing any kind of conflict. They likely take their bosses abuse and kiss their ass for it in return, then go home to their keyboard to play act owning an imaginary boogeyman with a bunch of other cowardly online weirdos.
I had an old friend come into town and he had made transphobia his personality. He hit me with some shit about manipulating children and I hit him with my old reliable "what the fuck are you talking about?" and he folded. It's like three steps to be offended by that shit. You'd need to recognize what they're talking about, recognize it as an insult, and choose to react to the insult. It's literally easier to steamroll past it than to engage on inane insult. The alternative is to ask them about the name and get a history lesson from someone you don't like. This shit is not how people talk outside of a work by Aaron Sorkin.
This person will never confront a "tankie" in real life. These people are cowards, afraid that they might be outclassed by someone who has read theory and history. Their own words would strike hollow against someone who believes in something.
meat cube applicant
i think it comes from some
cw meat
slaughterhouse cube of condensed frozen meat that was photographed outside of a factory in ukraine and redditors immediately started saying it was a bunch of dead soldiers from the Russo-Ukrainian war.Is this person 12? I didn't make it very far into his school yard insults but I def hope it's the stupidest shit I read all day.
I'm this close to going on reddit and tagging his name with RES flair just so I know not to even bother engaging with this absolute child ass human.
I feel embarrassed for this person.
The only thing any of these terms would get me to feel is disdain
and unsurprisingly most of these terms are also racist
That's because the person is, but if you told them that they'd lose it.
