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 [email protected]

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

Truly nothing at all tone deaf about calling Lenin a mass-murderer while events transpire in West Asia and Africa as a whole and Palestine in particular, all while things are pretty shit for working people even in the Imperial Core.

I think the funny thing to me is all the chuds (namely Westerners but all over really) thinking there's some grand conspiracy by the education systems and media to whitewash and minimize the "threat of communism", as if they don't already demonize Lenin. If they did what they wanted and tried to paint him as a black-hearted baby-eating psycho, the propaganda would be easily transparent and harder to impress upon people, who'd then get their information from less bombastic and more "nuanced" sympathetic sources. Really, it's much more effective anti-communist propaganda to paint the Russian Revolution as a well-intentioned but doomed and bloody attempt at making a better, more "equal" world. It's why the CIA funded Animal Farm and not something out of deranged White Russian propaganda publications.

Also, on another post, of fucking course a bjp-cool is calling him a mass murder at a time when the Britbongs murdered millions of Indians in droves through starvation to keep profit margins good.
