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

"From the river to the sea" doesn't even imply genocide.

guilty conscience crackers know what they did for their "sea to shining sea" and assume the same of everyone else

Becoming a resident and citizen of the United States means embracing the principles of liberal democracy

Maybe if I fucking moved here that might be true but I WAS FUCKING BORN HERE, JACKASS, I SURE AS HELL DIDN'T AGREE TO YOUR IMPERIALIST BULLSHIT WHEN MY CONCIOUSNESS WAS WROUGHT FROM NOTHINGNESS

This dude is literally affiliated with the Atlantic Council. Wall would be too kind for him.

If you see those three in someone's bio, your H-particle detector is gonna have a hard time.

I love how the Empire can't stop itself from very publicly pushing it's own useful idiots under the bus. First the UK fucks around with the HK rioters' visas, now this.

it's like they're trying to cook up the most morally repugnant possible stances at this point

Wasn't there a puff piece from a year ago saying the Uyghur seperatists "look up to israel"? It's almost all these western puppets don't actually represent the views of the average Uyghur.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

“Israel good right? Did you know Uyghurs like Israel? And Ukraine? And Europe? Uyghurs like everything you like and hate everything you hate.”

Yes. It's gone from Twitter too.

The account has gone private too.

Something tells me he might have just set whatever career he has on fire if he's in contact with a lot of refugees through it and he just ratted a bunch of them out

Liberal democracy allows genocide, look to Manifest Destiny.

Mr Assad please bring your curse upon this individual.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Cowardly fucking snitch. What a horrible thing to do. Jfc. Peak 'I'm calling the police' in the worst possible way.

You think the people you helped get asylum are facing a genocide and you'd grass on them to send them back over a political disagreement? This is (a) evidence that Malcolm X and MLK were 💯 when talking about white liberals and (b) evidence that those in-the-know (i) were never concerned with rescuing Muslims with genocide or (ii) knew/suspected there was no genocide (otherwise they wouldn't so callously seek to deport someone back to it).

It's hard to decide which, because the context strongly suggests they really don't gaf about Muslims. So it could be (a) and (b)(ii) with a secret wish that a genocide in Xinjiang actually starts when your ex-friends arrive.
