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
I was reading about this protest, and I'll be honest it wasn't obvious to me (maybe I just missed it) that the PSL was involved. Which, to me, strikes me as a messaging issue (again I have so little time, so maybe I just missed it). But even ignoring that I definitely get better vibes from PSL vs CPSUSA.
We were deeply involved on every level of planning, staffing, and communication. We don't blast it out because (despite the accusations) that is the opposite of how we operate. But it was my local branch that organized our city's bus caravan and PSL folks doing all the support work - street leadership, A/V, security, and a big chunk of the speakers.
That's really awesome to hear! Is there a prevailing thought behind working behind the scenes as opposed to advertising the org with the event?
For these huge national events it's under the ANSWER coalition, of which we are the largest but not only member. They are the name on the tin for that stuff because we are working in concert with other ANSWER members. And we are explicit about PSL involvement, it's just not the lead org. Local stuff we always put our name on.
Got it, that all seems logical to me! Thanks for the info.
