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
No, we've already done the whole argument, you can find it by searching :israel cool:. Your points were made and responded to there, but the discussion revolved around stopping actual antisemites using it for coded antisemitism, not zionists equating them.
and
to convey the exact same sentiment, but we don't have and aren't adding any burning religious symbols.
There's
You might think you're above them, but our "internal clique politics" are how the site is shaped into a safe space for all comrades. If you don't like it there are plenty of other instances available for you to join.
none of the points were responded to. you trotted out the old "anti-Israel is anti-semitism" canard with a slight twist, it's not actual anti-semitism but could be perceived as such! So an even weaker argument than the usual Zionist concern troll bullshit. It's a pathetic non-argument and millions around the globe dance on top of burning Israeli flags, and that's good. The more you try to act like a flag is sacred and can't be burned, the more we are going to want to desecrate it in front of you. That's how flag burning works. It's weird that burning a zionist rag is shocking to you and shows how white and westernized you are, that you have that worry of anti-semitism override your normal logic here
JUST FUCKING READ THE THREAD YOU LAZY, STUPID PEICE OF SHIT. As I believe what I said should have made clear, I am not trying to respond to your points. Your points aren't anything that haven't been said and fully discussed before - both the strawman you're creating of our stance and your reponses to it - and were considered completely unimportant. Nobody gave a fuck about the idea that "anti-israel is antisemitism".
You are making up the entire argument on your own and refusing to look at what has already been said on the issue, because you don't just think you know better than everyone else, you think you know what everyone else thinks better than they do. Personally I am very happy burning flags regardless of thier symbology, but as I said before, it's a discussion we had an a decision we came to in order to maintain this as a safe place for all comrades, not just the ones that have weird posting meltdowns when they're not allowed their emoji treats.
This site is very white and it shows
Just another day of crackers tone policing how the dirty browns are allowed to oppose genocide framed around their comfort level.
Next up, all discussion about Indigenous American genocide must ensure the comfort of whites.
Has there been even a single instance of someone using the emote in that fashion?
We've never had the emoji, so they've never been able to try, but we have had plenty of antisemites try to get a foot in over the years.
