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

Fuckin purity testttt scream the libs.

Like the rules she allegedly broke are so easy to follow. Do the opposite of supporting Israel. Not like the rules are "personally destroy the state of Israel" or "kill Benjamin Netenyahu"

Just don't support giving them more weapons. Don't support making it illegal to be against giving them weapons.

Truly an easy bar to clear for anyone who has any morals. Yes a purity test if you will. Purity tests are necessary and important. I ain't drinking water that isn't some standard of pure ("wow just because there's visible shit in your water you won't drink it what a purity tester") and I won't vote for someone or endorse someone who isn't some standard of pure ("wow just because she doesn't mind a lillll genocide")

I love (by which I mean hate) how 'purity test' has just come to refer to having any uncompromising moral position whatsoever.

Again it's one of those cliche situations of the left wants to not kill Palestinians and the right wants to kill all of them and liberals are like, "but you gotta compromise to get what you want ..."

Though hearing the Biden superpacs are focusing almost entirely on digital stuff makes me hope that most of these are just shills, even the downvoting is inconsistent, like the horde missed some comments or misinterpreted some of the commenters to think they're pro-lib when they're not. Very strange either way.

Liberals don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

But Trump would have killed 300k Palestinians and Biden only killed 200k!

These people are so v*ush-brained that they think you can have literally any political belief you want and still be a "socialist" so long as you claim to be one and don't voot DrUmPf.

I've seen similar comments from adjacent libs

Sample :

The purity crowd will not forgive any positive interaction with "bad" people. It reminds me of Jehovah's Witnesses demanding people disassociate from "worldly" people and if you refuse to do so they will excommunicate you. Political hobbyists demanding purity actively sabotage the movements they claim to be a part of but their actions show they just want to be part of a social club. I sleep better at night by assuming these people are teenagers.

Sample 2 :

I’ll just say this, and be a little mean about it, if you don’t go vote for Biden you’re a fucking idiot. Yeah, he sucks and he’s a dumb old man. But he isn’t a fascist. Not voting for Biden, is a vote for fascism. Republicans will take control. They will implement project 2025. They will make it illegal for LGBT people to exist in public life. And it will be the last election we ever have.

And yeah, I hear you, “but muh Palestine”. I get it. But do you really fucking think that Trump is going to be favorable to towards them? Do you really want a fascist with fucking nukes in the office when Israel is asking for aid? When Russia is still trying to overtake Ukraine? Just don’t be a dumbass. Go vote for Biden. We can deal with getting him out in 2028. If we vote for him now, we can have an election in 2028 with someone else at least.

They just cry and moan about how commies are throwing them out of groups cause they support genocide. Pathetic.

Nooo you can never kick me out of a group just for my politics that's red fash tankism!!!!!

Anyway these terrorists who wore a Palestine flag pin and said Israel should stop killing kids need to be banned from having a job, going to school, and existing in public. Oh also dump millions into primarying anyone who disagrees.
