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

Imagine having not one, but three goddamn twitter accounts
Twinks must be stopped before they create worse things
I really think people like this must find conviction in their beliefs from how hopelessly complex, muddled, confusing, and contradictory they are
"Vaush fan" 
"Nekoliberal"
least evil twink
People don't understand how many baby european leftists have a political identity very close to this one
Yeah this resembles a lot of my friends
Although they would never advertise their views like this
This is basically the most popular form of "radical leftism" in the states too. I guess it's just an imperial core thing.
On the bright side, I think plenty of people currently on the U.S. left went through a pro-Obama phase at some point that was not too far off.
A big appeal of neoliberalism is the idea "hey this works, unlike leftism, which is nice in principle but just doesn't work in the real world." This tracks as long as (1) you don't look too closely at the people neoliberalism chews up and spits out/blame those people for their own lot, (2) you measure the success of neoliberalism by "is my guy in office" instead of "are we doing good things," and (3) your knowledge of leftist projects is limited to propaganda.
I went through a pro Obama phase, though I did not understand what neoliberalism was yet. Going through high school, I naively thoughts the Democrats still operated under the assumptions of the New Deal/Great Society. I definitely had points 1 and 3 as blinders before I learned more during college. First the old subreddit and then the pod helped with that iconoclastic process of scrutinizing and tearing down the old ideology.
