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

Stephen King furiously looking through #6 to see if it gives a solid justification for the sewer scene. You know which one I'm talking about.

It's just shitloads of blow

This is the sort of leftist who’s incapable of explaining or making an argument for socialism to anyone with less than a graduate degree.

It even runs the gamut from "here's the universal key to understanding the world around us" to "I like this movie, let's talk about it."

did-i-miss-a-page I don't get it, what's the dunkable element? Aside from the Stephen King article which is goofy, I don't see much to get worked up about, the other articles are legitimate academic topics concerning the production of western intellectual knowledge and its relationship/hostility to Marxism

Do we have malding Frankfurt school fans here or somethin?

The whole thing is ultra left anti-communism while at the same time decrying academic marxist humanism and then proceeds to do academic marxist humanities.

That's so bizarre, usually the ultras are wide open for the bullshit that comes out of the Frankfurt and French 1968 schools, they're typically fellow travelers in their anti-communism, strange, like finding a rare Pokémon

Right?! This guy is wrong and nuts in a completely new way.
