Also, literally who cares. This isn’t politics. Zoomers and millenials are very left-wing and that hasn’t changer significantly in recent years. This isn’t happening at scales that are shifting the political landscape. Idk why there is an obsession with this shit.

I don’t think you understand the right. They don’t hit you with that stuff until much later. They always offer community first. Food, a place to hang out, and friends are very hard to turn down for younger people. Just look at the hillel movement on college campuses. They’re all about a big tent approach, and then they brainwash you later.

And that hasn’t been my experience with the left at all. Every time I have ever tried to join a left community in meatspace it’s a bunch of snarky, judgmental, dysfunctional assholes that do nothing but infight with a side of love triangles and polycules. I’m substantially older than most of the people here and there were two earlier periods in my life when I would have realized I was a communist but was driven away by so called leftists that expect you to meet them on their level, with their language, on day one. This is a pretty common experience for people my age.

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
