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

Communism is when the "free thinking individual" that thinks he lives in a separate universe to the rest gets rewarded immensely while the people who work together get to share the crumbs of mr. Individual between them. ~Wait...~

"A divided by 3 is a C" what the fuck are they even talking about lmao.

They don't even try to make a point here. "Under gobbunism everyone is exactly the same, under Freedom and Democracy™ you can be yourself" total fucking nonsense that has zero understanding of any ideology whatsoever, including their own.

In the lead up to that I thought he was gonna say he averaged their 3 scores and it came out to a 70 since that’s how anti-communist analogies from liberal westoids usually go, but it’s even dumber picard

That's where I thought it was going, and I was pleasantly surprised at "A divided by 3 is a C". Comedy gold

Also an A divided by 3 would be an F, so they can't even get math right

I feel like 90% of all kids cartoons messaging is a vague "beeeee yourself".

Also misogyny since the women are placed in the hysterical "communism" space while the men in the room "calm" them down.

yeonmi-park: "In North Soviet China, children are taught a simplified view of history and told that they are superior to others. This propaganda is widespread, even in the nation's supposedly free television channels. Children come out learning to look down upon other cultures and ridicule strange and foreign ideas which turns them violent and unpredictable..."

I'd look down upon and ridicule USian and European ideas too.

brb expressing my individuality by pledging to my countries flag with everyone else and wearing the same style and brands as my peers and agreeing with them ideologically

I'd give anything for Mr.Feeny to come in at the end of the scene and powerbomb Cory through the teachers desk.

"Mr.Matthews, it's clear you were never paying attention during my lessons!"

Moral of the episode: If you're a successful socialist, a capitalist will come along and punish you for no reason.
