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

Says a country is carpet bombing population centers of another country that has been oppressed by the carpet bombers for decades

"Not totally sure this is appropriate to call genocide"

Genocide, noun: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

I dunno, maybe they're not trying to destroy Palestine or kill Palestinians indiscriminately, they've only been stealing the land for decades and killing them without cause for as long, but surely Israel hasn't stolen THAT much land

See, Palestinians still have SOME places to live

Fucking clown-ass, wanna-be leftists.

The siege of Leningrad was genocide. I despise the monopolization of accurate words for political purposes. The people who are scared of “free parking” signs should not be dictating to reasonable people what words mean, but here we are.
