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
America is literally in the same state as late 1920s Germany except that there are no Communists fighting fascism. Democrats will keep bringing politics rightwards and eventually you'll have someone as bad as trump in power because Muh election of the Century will be fought between Mega Hitler and Omega Hitler and you'll have to choose which one is the lesser of two evils.
I see waaaaay too many center left pieces that are like "Weimar Republic now??" that completely ignore the fact that there is no The Left in the U.S.A. much less any kind of real SPD equivalent.
The Democrats are very much an SPD in the sense of "national-chauvinist warmonger party that deliberately alienates anybody to the left of them while hoping that the worst centrist reactionaries are willing and able to hold back fascism with them when they are actually neither", but you can admittedly argue that they are very unlike the Weimar era SPD when it comes to healthcare or having functional infrastructure or all the other things that got permanently declared impossible utopianism under Reagan.
Yeah that's what I meant. Their positions on what workers deserve and what society at large should be like was still far left of American Dems.
