Already saw that lol, contemptible stuff

Wondered why that's the only flag that gets censored? Religious brainworms or worse? Don't really care.

Also a double "one of these things is not like the others" with Russia being the only one of the states that isn't settler colonialist garbage. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's going on with these symbols.

For obvious reasons a burning star of david may make our Jewish comrades uncomfortable.

Half the world's Jewish population resides in the Zionist entity and half outside, I don't think that we've reached a saturation point where burning a star of David is appropriate in societies that are still genuinely antisemitic like the US, England, etc. Who cares, it gets the point across ¯\(ツ)/¯ Death to Israel

The biggest problem with the burning star of David is it evokes a very specific part of the holocaust, not just contempt for the country of Israel like the rest of the cool flags. Not even using the flag also specifically identifies it as not a real country - it's is a military cosplaying a state.

The main reason for it is that we get fascist trolls sometimes and we'd rather not have them spamming it.

Also a double "one of these things is not like the others" with Russia being the only one of the states that isn't settler colonialist garbage.

I think you are vastly underestimating the number of burning flag emojis we have.

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
