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

it's not murder if it's done at a distance. Therefore all gun violence that causes death is no longer murder :)
We did it, amerikkka!
This is where the logic of "it's okay to kill as long as it's humane" gets you.
To unjerk for a second, they don't view it as murder or brutal because

They are viewing them as subhuman. They're no longer people. You can't murder a subhuman, according to fascists. You get rid of an invasive species that's taking up valuable land. It's not brutal, it's efficient.
This tactic of dehumanization has been used over and over to justify genocide. I'd recommend this book "Less than Human, Why we Demean, Enslave, and Exterminate Others" if anyone is interested in what i'm saying. It holds up from a leftist POV - it talks about how the genocide always happens for a material reasons such as a desire for land/free labor, and then a dehumanizing rhetoric is created and used to declare those in the way as either dangerous, too unintelligent to make their own decisions, or dirty and uncivilized in a way that is threatening. Same exact pattern with very similar arguments happening over and over again.
I know we all know this, but seriously this book is really good and shows over and over how it happens.
Kkkanada in this case. CBC is our government subsidized radio and TV. About half way between BBC and PBS. It's got educational stuff and lots of local shows but also aired the Simpsons every day at 5.
