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

what, the original commenter said their family lost everything in the nakba, and they were the one unhingeposting not me
if you take away the wildly inappropriate conflation of israelis and jews, your argument seems basically the same as that of people grimacing at "death to america" and trying to sanitize it as only referring to america as a political formation or something bc it's so important apparently to observe proper optics to win the sympathy of libs. idc what libs think about anything and I'm not expecting posts on hex bear dot net to have any bearing at all on world events. but im drawn to ppl who lowkey feel
stuff literally sometimes bc that electric sense of helpless outrage resonates with me a lot, and even when I don't agree with someone like the removed poster there's a sense of safety in knowing for sure where they stand
While I stand by the statement that calling for babies to be killed as an act of genocide has an extremely antisemetic connotation and I would normally assume someone saying that is doing some antisemetic entryism, I did miss that the bit about the Nakba which better explains their post as coming from actual harm rather than just grandstanding.
However, shit like "death to America" is its own problem, as there isn't actually any relevant desire to ethnically cleanse white people and so it can be understood as either a joke or indeed just about the nation state, as obviously even if you did actually mean to genocide white people for whatever reason there are a lot of people who are not white here or who are literally indigenous, so an unironic "nuke the US" take would be nonsense even before getting to the fact that whiteness is a social construct that can be destroyed without literally killing all white people. And then there's the common criticism of leftists using the imagery of people.in the Middle East as violent terrorists to larp as such, along with using terms like inshallah while wishing for violence.
