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

MODERATORS
Respectfully disagree with the mods decision to delete this. Equating Hasan with AOC is an ignorant statement to make due to evidence of him being far more radical than her. Thus any attempt for me to reply to their argument in good faith, I feel, is tainted from the get-go.
#1 donor to the amazon labor union btw
bill gates is the #1 donor to alleviating Malaria and has likely saved millions of lives
are we going to adopt the Bill Gates political platform now?
surely you're not equivocating medical colonialism and giving money to support a worker's union that your "boss" opposes. that would be a genuinely deranged equivocation.
but you're clearly on a real tear here and in need of some grass touching, so i'll be blocking you if you feel the need to continue to pop off at me. you are clearly scrolling this thread for hours looking for people to try to argue with and it's seriously neither healthy nor productive.
my point is that money for charity, even if it were a good cause, is not any reason to support someone. It just means they're rich. Rich evil fucks do great things through philanthropy all the time to absolve themselves, it means nothing.
Your dislike of this statement does not make it ignorant
