Ending footbindings? Who cares. He cracked an off color joke that may have actually been a dig at Kissinger.

I mean, yeah. But I don’t wanna pull a “product of their time” schtick. We can just admit that the guy may have been awful personally while making important political contributions. Issue with the founding fathers isn’t that they were personally asshole, their assholery was political in nature. Owning slaves on stolen land isn’t a personal failing.

oh for sure, all i meant is that we’ve got PLENTY of men born a hundred years later who are just as bad or worse (AND they’re not liberating anyone while being shitty), so picking at stuff like this is just asinine

Sorry sweaty, if your historical figure doesn’t exactly follow modern standards of western liberal morality then you’re canceled alongside them! Communism owned

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
