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

I got in an argument with my mother a few years ago about support for Palestine / criticism of Israel. Her argument was basically "we just can't tell apart the antisemites from the legitimate support so we just shouldn't have a movement." It makes me think that the Washington Post decides to write about posts like this every once and awhile and actually write things like that. "but sorry the whole movement is antisemitic" and that's where we get that absolutely fucking insane argument from.

"we can't tell the difference..."

And how is that the problem of the people trying to stop a genocide?

Unfortunately we can't tell the people pushing for genocide in Gaza apart from the people who just believe Israel is allowed to defend itself, so we shouldn't have an Israel
