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 wish these Democrats would ask a Communist once, just once, what they think about post-USSR Russia. It is blatantly clear they are operating in sloganeering-mode. They know Communism has a negative connotation in the US and think by branding everything they hate as Communism they can achieve short-term political victories. It isn't even a matter of historical illiteracy (even though they are drowning in their illiteracy). They simply don't care one way or another. Instead of engaging in political education, or educating themselves, they'd rather just lean into typical American misconceptions about history. They are deeply unserious people.
The Soviet Union was buried the year I was born, and all these motherfuckers can do is run on Cold War tropes which are older than I am.
NGL though, I can see why fascists like Jackson Hinckle see the Republicans as fertile ground when Liberals act like this.
They are 100% advertising-brained and anything beyond slogans and "optics" is completely lost on them.
