the_dunk_tank
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

"moving the goalposts" means anywhere between comparing a similar situation and allowing the natural flow of a conversation instead of letting the lib set a very narrow path for you to walk down.
Much like "virtue signalling" it's a thought terminating cliche meant to silence criticism
It's not even moving the goalposts. Ceasefire means fucking ceasefire.
They were doing the same thing when Trump had to go to court a couple times. It was all "where will the goalposts move now?" about him being "held accountable". People want actual consequences, not an awkward afternoon in a courtroom where he is sentenced to pay money he will never pay.
Also, the toothless, technically correct "arrested twice" as if he was stuffed and cuffed and thrown in a cell.
Consequences are for the proles.
