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"

Again. I support neither. I thought I made that clear

Saying "neither is right" draws equivalence. Saying "I don't know enough to draw conclusions" does not.

Not really. I observe actions and observe response. Hamas acted by abducting 251 people from different parts of the world due to Palestinian oppression in Gaza, and it's been like that ever since WWII where the allies supported a Jewish state in the Israel region and then pretended like giving uprooted people Gaza was enough even though zionists want and currently are taking all the land to the Med under the claim "It's our holy land. We had it first"

So then take a firm stance supporting Palestinian liberation and dissolution of the Zionist entity. Refuse to say "two wrongs don't make a right" and recognize that oppressed peoples have the right to use violence against their oppressors, especially when all other paths are exhausted and in the face of active genocide.
