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

Israel is killing Palestinians in mass as following the pattern of their actions for the past 40 years

How could Putin do this

It's a bit, right? The "we exist" is a nod to the "I'm vegan, I eat meat, yes we exist" meme.

I can't actually see their profile to check for brainworms, someone please let me know if my optimism was unjustified.

The Rumble in the Cerebral Jungle

The Cantata in the Medulla Oblongata

This October, all within this person's brain!

We exist

Yes. That is the problem.

Having to preface any statement which is anti-isreal or pro-palestine with an "I'm not antisemitic but.." seems to be a zionist goal in itself. This might be the only real example of a minority group "weaponizing wokeness" in that they cynically conflate it with antisemitism. I'm surprised the right isn't running a victory lap about that one yet.

to quote Marx... "He is not enough of a dialectician to criticise both sides at the same time."

That's the political equivalent of watching a plastic bag being tossed about by the wind.

politics is like a game, and that game is apparently fantasy football
