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

MODERATORS
No, I don't. Yes, it's relevant.
The post spreads awareness about a racist South African political leader, and I'm spreading awareness about another one.
So... whataboutism?
Really struggling to see any point here beyond "Oh there's racism directed at South Africa? Well here's a racist from South Africa!"
"Racist" is when you side against the country that supported the same Apartheid regime that oppressed you.
In any case, I'm not surprised in the least the same people expressing concern for South African "white genocide" also back Israel on this.
