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

and the only person who was executed in the Doctors' Plot was the guy who fabricated the claims against the Jewish doctors.

This would have been after '53, right? Like, Stalin wasn't responsible for that shit (we have testimony he was against the conspiracy theory), but let's not act like he thwarted it either.

Were the deaths that precipitated it really just bad luck? I guess that would bolster the theory that it was promoted by the opposition bloc to successfully keep Stalin from having easy access to medical aid.

People who talk about politics under Stalin really neglect how complicated it is and how, to assert something is true, that has implications for many other situations and motivations like a logic circuit changing values down the line.

The same folks that cry big crocodile tears for all the dead gay jewish Soviets that Stalin crushed to death with his big spoon will plug their ears and scream "Whataboutism!" at you if you talk about the time the British government castrated Alan Turing.

Half of Palestine is more accepting of gay marriage than 100% of "Israel" peltier-laugh

The West Bank has the same legal status as "Israel". Homosexuality is legal, gay marriage is not.

They definitely say the word "Jew" with italics irl.

You can hear the parentheses.

Is claiming Muslims will behead you for any crime an islamophobic trope or something?

'cos I looked it up and the penalty in Gaza for homosexuality is, like, ten years imprisonment not death (which is still incredibly shitty but I think Goat is trying to draw comparisons to, like, ISIS beheadings and shit where the only connection is religion and that feels incredibly sus).

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago

It's something all islamophobes do, every muslim majority country whether it's in africa, the middle east or asia is run by ISIS in their minds, the whole of islam is an unthinking murderous blob.

extremely confused

They need so very badly for those they disagree with to be described mentally ill in some socially acceptable way. It's basically a requirement for establishing their logical rational sane hierarchical position over their too-strong-yet-too-weak enemies. scared-fash

Funny that they make a post accusing someone of posting something racist, as they're posting in a community with a really shitty racist stereotype as it's icon. stalin-stressed

They're also a thin skinned toddler lmao.

I called them an idiot to which they replied by copy pasting a comment from my profile that didn't follow at all then immediately edited to be some nonsense concern trolling about "standing against hate". I called them out for that to which they replied doubling down. I then got banned 10 minutes later for " spam" when they realized they were just proving my point.

Homeboy is seething.
