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

Why do libs always rush to defend abhorrent things with "๐ค๐but achtually it's technically not illegal".
And in any case, according to the unanimous vote (sans US and Israel ofc) in the UN every year, the blockade is illegal and a violation of the UN Charter.
Legalism is the worst argument as it ignores so many factors at play, like wow. The biggest economy in the Americas is abusing their power dynamics to strangle a smaller nation at its doorstep, just because it had the gall to defy them.
And yet China is considered the worse and more evil to these people, despite not acting as bad as the US on its breakaway state on its doorstep.
If China did something like an embargo they would be yelling murder and crying crocodile tears.
China is evil because they didn't get a septugenarian from Kansas to say that it's legal for them to give money aid to African countries without demanding blood sacrifice.
