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

Libs: "THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION THAT THERE'S GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG, AND IF YOU DARE TO BRING UP THE LACK OF EVIDENCE OF ANY SORT OF ABUSE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS YOU'LL GET BANNED!!!!"

Also libs: "Didn't you know that 15k of the 40k humans murdered in Gaza were actually terrorists? it-is-known Also, lots of civilians die in wars like the one happening in Gaza, it's sad but inevitable"

No I'm not. Just haven't talked about it yet. You got the numbers because I'm having trouble finding any

No I'm not

If taking hostages is enough for you to condemn a people to a genocide, then what the Ukrainian military does should be enough for you to support their loss, especially considering that the stakes are much lower.

Who said I supported that? There you go assuming now

[–] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Okay, if you don't support that, and you apply the same standards to the Ukrainian military, surely you support the defeat of the Ukrainian state, as well as a complete dismantlement of NATO and its states, right?

The only mistaken assumption anyone has made here is that you have a coherent worldview or set of politics. We really shouldn't be assuming that.
