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 think you're being rather kind. There's certainly probably some people who have zero idea. But THIS guy who is terminally forever online (he's a 2016 era Trump reply guy liberal) knows exactly what's happening. All these war mongers that thirsted for Iraqi blood like David Frum and Matt Y (however you spell his dumb last name) and are now doing the same for Gaza and have done the same for every war since Afghanistan and Iraq and further back depending on age... they know, they like it, maybe, at best, they really believe in neoliberal ideology and think this shit makes their lives better, but I doubt it. I think they're just disgusting hollow shells with no ideology, no core morals or beliefs, they just exist to point out what they think are hypocrisies or whatever will get them the most clicks and views.
They're shills for capitalism, liberalism, and death, ultimately. They sell western populations the idea that death abroad is fine. And here are five reasons why we must bomb Gaza, Yemen, whatever.
All of the pro-Iraq War salesman like Frum, Ygelias (again, dumb name) should've been tried and hanged as war propagandists (legally, of course, calm down libs. At the Hague!) 20 years ago. There's obviously a long list BEFORE them, but they should've been on that list. At least stiff sentences. Instead they all have microblogs, nice LA or NYC apartments and homes, and will never face a day of justice in this lifetime (probably, although, who knows). And the list of people who should've been tried before them includes (they're dead already so caaaaaaalm down NSA) Rummy, Powell, and other names I'm not gonna type alongside the phrase "legally executed." Coworkers of theirs though, one could say.
