the_dunk_tank
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

This is fucking nonsensical; decolonized/precolonized/non-colonized societies aren’t always free from oppression or violence, and the attitude that decolonization efforts are only valid if they’re angelically free from sin is both patronizing and stinks of rationalizing colonization as justified because the natives would be too savage without it.
Regardless, the fundamental issue with her stance is that even if there was perfect repudiation of Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran by everyone sympathetic to Palestinians, that would do exactly nothing to change Israel’s position and policies on Palestinians. There is no magical “respectable” stance that will make Israel respect the humanity of Palestinians.
