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

MODERATORS
if there's anything I believe about white Anglo westerners, it's how tightly they will grip onto racism as the last thing they'll give up.
exhibit a: anglo island wasting resources on pretending that its empire never faded away while its own domestic conditions continue to worsen without end
I hate how right you are about this, it's so true and I see it all the time
This, Even many libs point out that racism is like the magic trick they need to turn the white proletariat back into their loyal lapdogs. I never really interacted with CHUDs as friends, but do white CHUDs see racism as like a security blanket? Like they're so insecure they're the inferiors so they need the government to help them to even keep them competitive?
I grew up in the south in a deeply racist white area, so I can speak about those types at least. They see racism as an intrinsic, intractable part of reality that governs every interaction. They don't see non-whites as full human beings and don't believe white people can have meaningful interactions with them. I don't think it's an inferiority complex at all, they're fully convinced every non-white is like bacteria and will destroy all of civilization.
That's...kind of what I feared.
But that explains why I get the same reaction about not being racist in the same way vegans get for supporting animal rights.....they literally see us as livestock at best.
with the people I grew up around, they did use the term racist negatively, but they defined as something more like "saying slurs around non-whites." They only see as manners, which is why they'll deny being a racist if you ask them. They'll be polite to non-whites in day to day interactions, but they do not perceive poc as full human beings. They'll smile politely as they endorse genocidal policy.
The white folk from my hometown are the worst racist scum on earth and a big reason for why I believe we'll need widespread re-education.
