I don’t think you know what that term means.

Or is that just want you want me to think!?!

also, my meaning of left connects me with historical movements while yours infinitely atomizes. which meaning is more useful?

I think trying to grade political ideology on a left/right axis doesn’t really make a ton of sense, and really only servers to muddy the waters, and create a sense of consensus that isn’t really there.

What’s the significance of feeling connected to historical movements?

I get to analyze possible actions based on the works and results others have produced. it makes it more likely that I’ll succeed. to atomize oneself away from history is to destroy the possibility of progress.

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
