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

It does get used as a racial epithet generally towards Miami Cubans, most of whom are now the children and grand-children of reactionaries and not chuds themselves. Use in the US, esp. by whites, is still fraught.

Name five prominent communists who were not petty bourgeois class traitors. Parents' politics and class position strongly influences but does not determine childrens' politics. Again, in the context of Miami it is not revolutionaries condemning reactionaries but shitheads being racist towards (whiter, more affluent) latino people. If you have a problem using an ounce of critical thinking skills there you need to touch grass and consider your principles.

Most prominent non conservative Cuban American groups I’ve seen are liberal at best. I guess it’s a good thing that sometimes they organize aid for Cubans but I’m not confident in their choices for endorsement because no one is going to be passing laws to end embargoes any time soon.

White Floridians know Spanish enough to insult their own critical voters? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if they assume anyone who speaks Spanish is a Mexican, but I also assumed they’d just call them racial slurs in English
