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

Also the western activist class isn't perfect but they're 1000x better than fascist #639461
Ahhh thank god the left stood by President Johnston and didn’t fracture into chaos, could you imagine if they did? That’d enable a unified right to run a train on them and do everything they were complaining about but much much worse and ultimately usher in the end of left wing politics in america for decades. Fortunately our leftwing is tooo politically effective.
JFC the anti-war movement wasn’t the backbone of the American left, it was bougie hedonistic kids who really didn’t want to be sent off to die for their parents’ ideology. The kneecapping of the American left happened when Cold War politics purged the labor movement (y’know, the actual backbone of the left) of militant leftists.
Plus as the other commenter pointed out, there was an anti-war candidate who had a lot of support but the establishment rejected him, effectively handing the election to Nixon. You could argue that something similar has happened three elections in a row now - the Dems don't want to win if winning means electing somebody good.
It’s a combination of wanting someone they can control, and fundamentally wanting to appease the PMC with the working class being badgered into following suit rather than the other way around.
The ignorance on display here is comedy gold. I honestly have a hard time believing it’s not just actual leftists trolling for fun. Like the one commenter who brought up the Khmer Rouge in order to imply the CPV was morally equivalent. Amazing, just simply amazing lol.
Gottem with the “all activists are white and therefore bad” shtick that I remember hearing during Occupy Wall Street. Funniest thing is that the people saying it the most are white themselves.
On a side note, I’ve noticed that a lot of chud jokes about white women being “offended” (giving a shit about marginalized people) shows the political shift of women moving left and men becoming increasingly right-wing.
Both sides is when francophone catholic dictatorship.
They stole rice at gunpoint from random villagers, they murdered some 37k civilians (from 1967 to 1972, so the real numbers are bigger), and they conducted mass murder strikes against villages and refugee camps
The Viet Cong weren't Hamas level, but they were damn close
What's that you say, 'communism 100 billion'? What a brave and free thinker!
