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

Tbf, there was a fair amount of user here who were proposing we ally with PatSoc types cuz of our shared anti-war stance shrug-outta-hecks

Hey everyone remember PatSocs? Lol that became a real nothingburger.

Okay it was like maybe 3 or 4 people but tbf they were VERY aggressive posters.

I think that whole 'movement' was 3-4 aggressive posters.

If I recall they managed to talk a few people into agree with them, if half assedly. They were here and they rose a stink, that can't be denied. They've all gone quiet now cuz PatSocs turned out to be a pathetic LaRousite Op that died before it became anything.

I've always been fascinated by LaRouche. Not in an positive way, I just think the movement was interesting.

It's frankly a bizarre group that Im personally convinced is an Op, like I suspect the number of actual genuine LaRoushites is tiny, most of their leadership are probably Feds.

They are mainly a cult that uses cult tactics.

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but I'm still pretty sure their leadership is all Fed. There's even evidence that LaRouche himself was a fed, his bodyguard and close confidant was confirmed an FBI informant.

I don't doubt it. Intelligence agencies are masterful at utilizing weirdos like that.
