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 [http://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.

I met this really condescending kid in a mental hospital once who believed that Stalin was great, that a ton of genocides were fabricated by the west, along with a more general praise for communism and the Soviet Union.

So, is that what this place is? I know it's on the nose but I promise this story is true and that I'm not just shitposting, I am just genuinely curious because if there is an entire community of people like him who think that they've got it all figured out, that would be incredible.

    I'm being earnest. I know they're not from here but they found this place all the same. They also chose here for this post instead of lemmygrad which is probably more Stalinist than here since they don't have nearly the anarchist presence we do. This person is baffled by something they didn't know existed, people who actually don't trust the yankee narrative of history in the world.

      I guess I am, in a way. I'm not a yank, to be clear, and I'm not hankering to suck off Uncle Sam, I just find places like this interesting because of the perspectives they provide. Not every conversation has value, but they can be fun to look at from afar.

          "fun" as in interesting and thought provoking, not funny haha. I don't get my kicks from looking down on people I disagree with, I'm not some self fulfilling prophecy on arrogance. I posted here out of intrigue, not to dunk on you because we have different opinions.
