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

Because I'm not a lib

The context to this is saying about how they're not a fan of the subreddit LeftWingMaleAdvocates, which is a bad subreddit, it's mostly just anti-feminist and basically just MRA, but they just call themselves left-wing. Most of their "left-wing" stuff is actually just "classical liberal" talking points, so they are bad, but calling them tankie is ridiculous.

God I hope so, maybe people would finally figure out how meaningless the term is in contemporary context.

No, no, no, it's gonna get hyper-commodified like every remotely lefty shit that isn't demonized by the libs and hyper-demonized like every remotely lefty shit that isn't commodified by the hogs

Yeah but then they gotta come up with a new term for us which would be a refreshing change.

Language is an arms race.
