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

How do NATO 'leftists' even exist?

It's nothing new or surprising. A lot of the "left" in the imperial core are really just dedicated to a more equitable distribution of wealth within the core and see the global south as a spooky asiatic horde threading the stability of the bourgeoisie democracy they benefit from living under.

Liberals. The exact same reasoning that led to most of the socdems to support "their" side during WW1. "Our state is bad, but hoo boy the countries it dislikes!"

Curious to hear how quiet guys like Zizek and Chompsky have become in the last three months.

They are white supremacists but they also want healthcare. When their healthcare is cut to pay for more bombs they will tell themselves that it is a necessary sacrifice to defend against the great non-western bogeyman.

They want that European Socialism that is only for the global north and contingent on the constant exploitation of the global south.
