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

Ah, when GinAndJuche said it was the party line, I thought the mods might have officially released something on the topic. We're not really talking about demcent in this context, then.
The whole burning flag thing has become a really weird fixation, and I've seen it on a lot of posts.
It might be best to actually put it to a user vote. Or, if the mods aren't willing to budge, just let people know it's not happening and use it as an opportunity to educate as to why.
we're not a party and don't have an actual party line. no demcent, except as a bit.
i don't think it's weird to have reservations about a symbol that has been associated with all jewish people being used against zionists. zionists do not represent all jewish people
No, I think the weird part is that some people think it's super important to have an Israel flag burning emoji
oh hell yeah lmao. friendly fire.
If there’s a burning Russia flag there should be a burning Israeli flag. One is an actual ally to anti-imperialists and socialists, the other is a genocidal monstrosity.
The blatant hypocrisy, double standards and folding to Zionist logic is the problem. Either remove all the flags (especially Russia burning) or add the Israeli one. Otherwise it looks pathetic
It’s the fucking Israeli flag. It is not sacred, they brought it down to earth and opened it to desecration, mockery and critique when they emblazoned it on the flag of a colonial nation state. You don’t get to have it both ways, a symbol cannot be sacred and also the banner of a state, it's battle standard as it takes real material actions. Israel is the one who committed the blasphemy of trying to tie the religion of Judaism to genocidal barbarism, not us. This shows you still have internalized Zionist narratives, accepted their premises, and ultimately fold to their tone policing.
