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 watched the whole Hague hearing from start to finish and a lot of really egregious things were said on behalf of Israel. Lies of such outrageous proportion. But I would like to draw attention to this little line by Co-Agent of Israel, Tal Becker's Opening statement in defense of Israel:

  1. We live at a time when words are cheap. In an age of social media and identity politics, the temptation to reach for the most outrageous term, to vilify and demonize, has become for many irresistible. But if there is a place where words should still matter, where truth should still matter, it is surely a court of law.

How can anyone take this seriously. Who is still complaining about identity politics in 2024. At the fucking hague.

I feel like this guy was sort of there to draw heat because he was so strikingly obnoxious everything he said was flippant as fuck and made it difficult to continue watching.

The actual problem with social media is the brainrot it’s caused towards IRL interactions where it seems the bad guys can just pretend the good guys are being annoying or dramatic when they go after them.

“Hey, stop the genocide”

“Ugh, you’re such an antisemitic drama queen with your TikTok vitriol”

The actual problem is the echo chambers.
