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 don't care for discourse over whether nations deeply isolated and oppressed by imperialism like the DPRK and Cuba are truly socialist or not. Judgement should be suspended until the boot is off their neck. Even if they weren't that oppressed by imperialism, it's still icky. Working class people living in the imperial core ought to focus more on overthrowing their own bourgeois governments. What use is an American's criticism of China, for example? You're just joining a chorus of bloodthirsty bourgeois voices, even if your criticism is of a different variety and intention, and coming from the opposite direction politically.
Yeah completly agreed. And so much of discourse on left twitter is people living in imperial core countries yelling at each other about whether or not these countries are socialist or not.
