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

MODERATORS
Is he really a self-proclaimed communist? 'Communist Slow Jams' has very little communism in it, despite the name.
Late reply but yes, listen to Veteran. He's talked about his politics in some interviews, but it's not really all that straightforward as to say he's some kind of principled leftist who betrayed his ideals to go hang out with a Nazi he happens to admire because of his music. His political views are really a lot more vague and he's never really stated his allegiance to anything. Take that how you will, IMO it's still surprising and disappointing to see him go back on what he's said in his music to this extent but he hasn't exactly hidden that he's a little opportunistic.
He’s always made allusions to it, specifically calling out fascists and reactionaries including Kanye in his music. I’m so sad abt this, never expected this sort of behavior from the guy who said “you’re third reich IM STALIN”
