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

I need Rebecca to stop pretending that she isn’t calling for Palestinian genocide.
Should be banned from “historians.social” for knowing fuck-all about history.

I've met more than a few "historians" who know fuck-all about history. I once got into an online fight with one because I said something about disagreeing with American foreign policy for at least the last eighty years, and the bastard had the audacity to retort along the lines of oH sO yOu DiSaGrEe WiTh OuR pLaCe In Ww2 tHeN!?!!1? Um, yah, sweaty. I do.

If y'all are going to dogpile this woman, be smart about it. Read the rules over at historians.social, and let her violate them (they mention both antisemitism and islamophobia). Make calm, historically sound rebuttals and let her expose herself as the one with an unreasonable perspective. Also try not to have a thread where a dozen @matapacos.dog accounts are replying to her while sending reports to their admin.
