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

Bakunin also thought that the American north was oppressing the south by forcing them back into the union
Dude was dumb as hell and that isn't sectarianism. Kropotkin, from what I've read, has not had any absurd takes like this.
Damn that is definitely one of the worst takes of all time and almost indistinguishable from what a dumbfuck chud would say today.
Because it frames the civil war as a conflict primarily about the south breaking free from northern domination and liberating itself from an oppressor instead of what it actually was which was a war about ending slavery in the United States, which is objectively a good thing. It just shows Bakunin was not thinking very materially.
Well, to be more accurate it started as a war over the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territories. You know, bleeding Kansas and whatnot.
