"There was this devastating, life changing event that happened DECADES ago and they STILL talk about it."

"What the hell is Manhwa?"

Reminder to everyone: this is a libertarian socialist space. Anti communist my ass.

I know for a lot of people a tankie is just something that they know it when they see it, however I think that it is important to think about the reason that you define something as being tankie vs just a leftist.

PS: Fuck Zionism, but this is anti semitism.

Kindest, most loving ML user:

~PS, i know soyjacks have a bad rep but i used that reaction because i just thought it fit lmao~

Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

After a year of the mod being inactive, i said fuck it, why not and became the mod.

Rules:

1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

If you'd like to become a mod, put a comment, Though you should be leftist at least.

For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

Notice how there is a sizable conservative userbase from Lemmy.ml despite the instance's claim that they're the "true leftists"

The one where Hexbear unironically rebrands some of their vilest propaganda-filled troll communities (aka "beloved spaces") as "counterpropaganda" and "gossip" 🤣

Hello users of Hexbear, we wanted to inform you that we are going to be locking the_dunk_tank and dredge_tank communities. We have created two new communities /c/gossip and /c/counterpropaganda to serve a similar but clearly distinct purpose than the dunk/dredge tanks.

Not only is the dunk tank a term that has racist origins, but also many posts there were almost no effort and often times requiring later edits to show how they weren't reactionary, ~~not useful with regard to developing rhetoric and furthering dialectical analysis of that which we dunk upon~~.

To that end, we wish posts of reactionaries to be placed in !counterpropaganda@hexbear.net along with an accompanying explanation (as simple or complex as desired) with the intent of countering the reactionary propaganda in the post body, as of now comments are not subject to the same ~~rhetorical rigor~~ rule.

For the posts ~~that are not "low-hanging fruit'~~ of notable people we ask that you use !gossip@hexbear.net .

These changes are mainly part of a continued effort to remove the racist and misogynistic elements from our community and grow.

Any moderators of the dunk tank or dredge tank that want to be a mod in the new communities let me know.

[...]

As a personal addendum I am sorry if the closing of the tanks, removes a beloved space on the site, if you want to suggest a community to replace them you may do so at !commrequest@hexbear.net or submit a mod application to take a more active role in shaping the site. Sitewide or community changes come from proposals put forth from the mod team, discussed, and voted on by the mod team.

1. Farmer! Be red, hold a gun
2. Give gun to red soldier, he'll protect you
3. If you don't giveup your gun, you're a traitor
4. Farmers, give bread to revolution!
5. America [brings corn] to the starving of Russia
