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'm doing the flattened Bernie face reading this. The context is they're dismayed by the "Everyone in Gaza is supposed to evacuate in 24 hours" announcement, but then they fabricate like 4 genocides (hexbear.net)

No one rounded up and killed Tibetans as an ethnicity, or Uyghurs (even the fucking US state department concedes this), or North Koreans (unless they mean the American bombings and sanctions, but I bet $10 that's not what they mean), or ethnic groups in the Soviet Union (most historians, even those who vehemently denounce Stalin, agree the famine was not a deliberate genocide, read the preface to the Years of Hunger by Davies and Wheatcroft)

At least they oppose the genocide of Palestinians. I'll take what I can get at this point.

Yo, that's insane literal Nazi propaganda being said by (probably) not a Nazi. The liberal mind is an infinite expanse of contradictions bouncing around and never forming a coherent view of anything.

There was no Tibetan genocide (maybe if you count the ruling class that China helped overturn what that class was doing, ok, but specify that).

The Uyghur shit was over blown and the fact is with all available information, removing the anti-China hysteria, we have no evidence of anything CLOSE to genocide going on.

North Korea? Yes, the US and South Korea did multiple genocides against the DPRK during the Korean war rounding up and executing communists and socialists (or anyone lightly suspected with no evidence) and mass murdering them. Not to mention the whole leveling the entire fucking infrastructure of the northern part of the Korean peninsula, dropping napalm all over, bombing everything into rubble.

And Soviet genocides??? Maybe they mean the genocide by the Nazis against Soviet citizens? Otherwise WHAT THE FUCK are they talking about? (I know what they're talking about, and it's a Nazi talking point. And false.)
