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

CW: high readings of Hitler particles.

It's a major point as to why negotiations are barely tenable in the Israel-Palestinian conflict:

Israel is made of a majority group whose core tenets are focused on the celebration life, and doing what you can to ensure that you not only live, but live well

Palestine is made of a majority group whose core tenets are focused on the celebration of death and the after-life, in that you should be focused on attaining the most "honorable" death possible to ensure a better after-life

When the views on how to approach life and death are such polar opposites to each other, it's going to be extremely difficult, if not outright impossible to find a common ground upon which to negotiate.

Edit: Since some people are immediately taking this as a comment of meriting one religion vs another religion, see one my replies here where I explain I'm speaking on a societal level, a step above the religious level.

bonus cringe

Just like Vikings. Just like Crusaders.

Dae genocide of Palestinians is just like my hecking wholesome 100 crusadarinos.

Seal anyone who's ever had a Reddit account in a drum, cover that drum in concrete, dump that in the bottom of disused mine, fill the rest of the mine with concrete, and leave a big sign so that future generations can know that this is not a place of honour.
