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 chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Maybe bordiga-despair had a point about Popular Fronts…

In seriousness, I do find this whole thing started by D*stiny pretty telling about how eagerly libs just copy-paste low-hanging “gotcha”s, especially since they feel threatened by an increased ”tankie” presence on social media. Anything to surprises that feeling emanating from cognitive dissonance a bit longer.

There’s no real honest conversation to be had with people who will use anything and everything to prove the USSR was Red Nazi Germany while also dismissing appeasement and outright support from the capitalist world (as well as their own imperial ventures) as oopsies.

Poland and Finland in particular being brought up is also pretty hilarious since both were right wing illiberal regimes engaged in their own “nation-building” efforts.
