like whatever Fox News or 4chan says

It is true that direct democratic action in modern bourgeois democracies is intensely compromised by bourgeois propaganda, but this is not a condemnation of direct democratic action - it is a condemnation of bourgeois propaganda. So long as the proletariat maintains control of the media (through their party or some other mechanism) then direct democracy is the most immediate way to turn the people’s will into collective action. Thinking that the people are naturally evil is reactionary and you shouldn’t fall prey to it.

Create post

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
