One of my teachers had multiple units about the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement as part of the curriculum.

Photos of Abu Ghraib came out and we were watching it on the news. The student news anchors were commenting on photos of men being stripped naked and tortured about how barbaric it was. My teacher then said "Yeah but they're terrorists trying to kill us."

Most of my respect for her died that instant. She didn't care about the Holocaust because it was the fucking Holocaust. She cared because it happened to people that looked like her.

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
