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

I find the idea of peaceful protest kinda comical. Isnt the whole point of protest to threatan polititans into doing what you want? I feel like the most peaceful a protest can be while still being effective is warning them that if they dont captiulate you will come back tomarrow and burn their house down.
I feel like the reason lib protests rarely work is they are usually too chicken shit to actually back up the implied threat of violence, so polititians face no consiquences from ignoring them.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
But what if somebody gets hurt?
The chance of someone getting hurt by protest is not as bad as the certianty of someone getting hurt by what is being protested. Especially when you are protesting genocide.
Ive had this conversation with libs and they were adamant that someone in an ambulance not getting to the hospital fast enough would turn everyone off from your cause. Just the inconvenience was too much.
Do you think people get rights by not inconveniencing the system?
You know the typical lib might actually believe that given the whitewashed history of the civil rights movement. The extent of their knowledge is likely somthing along the lines of "MLK protested peacefully only causing a minor inconviniece and then LBJ signed the civil rights act out of the goodness of his heart". I know thats probably the impression I would have if I stuck with what whatever I remember from 5th grade social studies in the american education system.
Neolibs love to prop up MLK, Mandela, and Ghandi for the success of their nonviolent campaigns, but always conveniently leave out Black Panthers, Malcom X, Necklacing, and the Indian revolutionaries who, either through more militant or violent means, forced their oppressors hand in tandem with their more "peaceful" contemporaries.
A relevant quote from Malcolm X I've always liked: "At one time the whites in the United States called [King] a racialist, and extremist, and a Communist. Then the Black Muslims came along and the whites thanked the Lord for Martin Luther King."
