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 literally the first time I've ever seen someone say this.

I think this is the source of the claim. I have no doubt that a lot of human trafficking happens in Yemen (that tends to be the case when there's a civil war, bombing from a larger country, and a lot of refugees) but it's reaching quite a bit to lay that all at the feet of the Houthis and claim that they're bringing slavery back.

First off, it's a Saudi-backed newspaper, second, it's hearsay after hearsay (Eg. A told me that B did this evil thing, even though I didn't witness what A 'saw')

but it's reaching quite a bit to lay that all at the feet of the Houthis and claim that they're bringing slavery back.

Yeah, after what the Saudis have done to Yemen, I'm pretty sure they want a post-hoc explanation to the marde...

It's ironic coming from Saudi Arabia considering almost all households there have a maid
