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

Part of the massive rewrite of soviet history that has happened in my lifetime is that all of the peoples of the non-Russian republics did not experience genuine class conflict and mass uprisings that led them to be part of the USSR. Nobody actually wanted rapidly developed, shared prosperity. The forces that overthrew the reactionary elites of Central Asia and Eastern Europe didn't actually exist, or they all came from Russia. It's just Jim Crow "outside agitator" rhetoric filtered through the last bit of acceptable liberal racism.
The scope of acceptable racism will soon start expand rapidly. We're gonna need a lot of hated outsiders to blame the next capitalist crises on. Get ready, Ireland.
