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
They think you're either lying about wanting liberation for marginalized people, or that you'd entrust the task of liberation to a bunch of liars who would instead simply recreate capitalism but worse. They also believe you secretly harbor a suite of bigotries like transphobia or Islamophobia and you'd gladly endorse genocide against such groups so long as you had some vague aesthetic of socialist revolution. You're right that it's incoherent. None of what they're saying makes sense.
That's really the entire accusation. You're both brainwashed and insidious, you're dishonest, and you praise countries that are designated as "capitalism but worse somehow."
There's also a really serious element of nationalism that can't be ignored in the word "tankie." It means a westerner who is regarded as a traitor. You're praising foreign countries who are enemies of the west and that violates every other western political framework. Principled anarchists and communists get called tankies because we're the only westerners who wholly reject western hegemony.
