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
Rather similar to Ho Chi Minh, who wanted a simple, unassuming gravesite but the party gave him a mausoleum instead.
Yeah it’s more the 2nd generation, non-revolutionary, leaders who want to cloak themselves in the glory of the first generation who do this.
It’s like wrapping yourself in a flag or sounding off about the “founding fathers”.
Deifying them is a way of claiming you’re the successor to their legacy, asserting your legitimacy with a show of devout pious reverence to avoid anyone looking too closely at your actual policies.
The same shit happened in Ancient Rome with Julius Caesar. His successors literally deified him used that to legitimize the monarchy they soon established that Caesar himself expressly rejected.
Fuck Krushchev.
