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

Which country did the bombs and weapons that cause this "loss of life" come from, and which president bypassed congress to give Israel more bombs and weapons?
The Biden administration (along with Sunak's government) is going to be sued for being complicit in potential genocide by South African lawyers, do these people not get that? This is happening right now, it's not abstract, it's real, and it's happening now. Biden broke the laws of his own "rules based international order" to arm Israel over the past months. It's on the books, have a spine. The ICJ case gives you all the ability to do so and challenge these people by their own rules. South Africa did this for that reason. Time for progressives and the left in the West to take the baton and raise their voices at minimum, and support South Africa's legal challenges, if not file their own lawsuits. If Western progressive/left wing politicians can't even oppose an ongoing genocide, what use are they?
I totally agree
I may be too cynical to believe I'll ever see these fucks dragged into the Hague, but I want them to spend the rest of their lives bleeding money and having to cancel appearances or turn around jets because there's word a legal team might be waiting for them when they land.
And the act of going after them alone has a chilling effect on others, especially further down the ladder for those who can't necessarily afford to insulate themselves in the same way.
The exact same use they've always had - absolutely none to the proletariat and real left. They're objectively valuable to capital though, its moderate wing
