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 think suicide protests are okay as long as they're not murdering innocents. Self-immolation has been a way for the unheard to cry out to those who won't listen for millennia. It lays bare the contradictions of empire.

Hard to call this "suicide attack" when nobody else was hurt.

Or more to the point, he didn't even try to hurt anyone else, and there's indisputable video evidence proving it.

A coworker of mine said Bushnell didn't respond to commands from the cops, which is inherently harmful, he said. The pigs were shouting "ON THE GROUND" to a person on fire and burning to death

Not obeying a cop is more dangerous than a cop pointing a gun at you I guess.
