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.
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

Whenever someone says "authoritarian," you can mentally substitute in "Anyone the West doesn't like, regardless of their actual poltics."
Unless that person is also popular with the masses. Then they are an "authoritarian populist" and the people are "brainwashed."
Hey while we're at it, what time is the 4 millionth military flyover at the sports game, again? I need to apply lotion to get ready to jerk off the flag.
Every government has a class character and is authoritarian against a certain class. When they accuse others of being "authoritarian" they really just mean "authoritarian against my social class". To people like her, sending the military to repress a worker's protest is not authoritarian, but redistribution of land is.
