What the fuck is whataboutism about that post. They just meant that some people deserve to die because of the atrocities they commited. Do you honestly believe that a serial child molester can be reformed? Would subjecting them to a lifelong stay at a labor camp be better?

Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?

If you believe that reforming criminals is possible, you'd also need to believe that there's something unique about every criminal part a certain line of severity that makes them somehow physically unredeemable, and I at least have never seen convincing evidence of that.

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
