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

We have multiple burning religious symbols.

Burning jewish symbols is evocative of things that would be easily used against us. Too easy for right wingers to co-opt a burning star of david.

You are just accepting the Zionist premise that Israel = Jews, it’s pretty pathetic. Is it “anti-Semitic” when Hezbollah burns the flag of the Zionist entity? No.

Resistance fighters burn the Israeli flag all the time and that’a good and based. Cowardice from the mods and giving into Zionist narratives

No they're correctly pointing out that Israel's flag has a star of David on it and that could be turned against us, just as it is in real life. They're not conflating Zionists and Jews

Turkeys flag has Islamic imagery on it too, here is Hezbollah chads burning it and burning the Zionist rag

Are you saying they are anti-Semitic and Islamophobic? That hezbollah has bad optics? I disagree, I think caving to Zionists is bad optics. I think you sound like the libs pearl clutching over the optics of Indian protesters using a "stalinist" flag. it's horseshit and even entertaining their stupid arguments means you lost and are under their civility/tone-policing thumb
