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

anti-queer and anti-black primarily, that's the axis these patsoc dipshits base their politics on
They also tend to dislike service workers and teachers. Their perception of the working class masses are bearded white guys in hard hats and that's it.
Also it seems like these Midwestern Marx people are mostly college professors. When professors call something woke it's usually because they tried sexually harassing a student.
You'd think they'd love imperialism, then
They very much do, they just like to pretend they don't for...idk, optics?
It's like Césaire said, the real sin of fascists was to apply colonialism to white people. Much of the western 'left' is still only concerned with that dynamic. If the US practiced it's imperialism only on the global south, you wouldn't hear a peep. As evidenced by the existence of those who tell you to vote Biden because although he's doing a genocide, he isn't quite so ghoulish against the good ol' USians as Trump would be (he is, but they aren't concerned with facts).
Patsocs also always hate homeless people, for some fucking reason
