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

No joke.

They're fucking feds, I tell you. Or so I think.

They're using social media accounts to galvanize people to commit mass entryism on various orgs. They apparently did this with the American chapter of the KFAUSA (or, at least, they may have a "PatSoc problem"). I questioned a PatSoc about this who turned out to be an anti-Semite during a Twitter Space and he was... fucking skittish. He wouldn't give a straight answer.

They're fucking feds, I tell you.

I was wondering why they were specifically interested in CPUSA, and this clears it up. Good luck in your fight against them anyway.

I'm not a fed. We're literally being attacked by feds.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm sure you aren't, I'm just saying that the central body of the org was compromised over a half-century ago by the HUAC and friends

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

It was not, actually.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Also, which central body of the org are you referring to? HUAC isn't the CIA, btw.

Historically, the opposite happened.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I didn't say shit about the CIA, it was all conventionally-domestic bodies afaik, like the FBI and Congressional committees. Apparently also:

"If it were not for me", Hoover told a State Department official in 1963, "there would not be a Communist Party of the United States. Because I've financed the Communist Party, in order to know what they are doing"

By central body, I essentially mean everything "National" in their org chart.

Also, you got that anecdote from a known anti-communist academic.

In addition, if you're so sure about fed involvement, then don't react the way you do simply because I mentioned "CIA." Like, be confident. Instead, you're getting flustered and it makes you look suspicious and like you're not confident that we're a bunch of feds.

Instead, you're getting flustered and it makes you look suspicious

Irony of posting this alongside like four other replies.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, 'cause I've been dealing with this crap a lot and you were just regurgitating Internet rumors.

In addition, why is the CPUSA being attacked by feds now?

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Someone said "CIAPUSA" lmao so don't bring up the CIA.

Then don't use central body lol

Be specific.

Also, in the 1970s, they said they only had a minority of informants within the CPUSA.

And how do you explain what happened to Sam Webb?
