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.

70% of people who complain about “tankies” would use that against the Trotskyists who came up with the term :joker-troll:

AOC, Bernie, or should he win, Fetterman, are going to be called tankies before Pelosi.

Fetterman will simply use his enormous arms to lift hecklers up to his enormous mouth and devour them, much like Saturn devouring his son.

Fetterman needs to become Mike Haggar.

Neera Tanden calls Tucker carlson a tankie rather than the other way round

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.
