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

Nonono you see, the Uyghur genocide is real, those sneaky Chinese are just really really good at hiding it! The lack of evidence is actually proof that it's happening and really shows how sneaky those Chinese are!!!!

I hope that doesn't become a real take at any point.

But there's overwhelming evidence of Israel committing genocide against Palestinians, you say? That's just childish, it's more complicated than that!

Well Joe Brandon said they aren't killing civilians and he wouldn't LIE!

[–] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

That absolutely is a real take that I've seen.

Too late, I've already heard this one multiple times, both from Lemmy libs and IRL.

It is kind of satisfying to get them to that point though, shows that deep down, the only thing fueling them is just blind racism, no actual empathy for the people of Xinjiang.
