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

“We didn’t know so many people hated Israel. I don’t think these young people know a lot about Israel or about the conflict. I think the older people do, but not this younger generation,”

“When it comes to antisemitism or anti-Zionism, it’s often pretty hard to tell the difference. If you hate the Jewish state, then you hate Jews.”

Y'all antisemites.

ah yes, recognized knowers of world events and their context: older americans.

my parents were alive during korea and couldn't name any details about it except "the north was bad". never heard of literally anything the CIA has admitted to doing, MK-ULTRA, Church Committee, Operation Cyclone, Operation Bloodstone... goodluck on murkier events like Operation Gladio. even more recently, they couldn't name any sects of islam relevant to the 2003 invasion/occupation of iraq. they barely remember the Shah or that the US/UK used to run pakistan and iran like client states. never heard of the BCCI or the Durand Line. they couldn't tell you anything about the Opium Wars. they know Ollie North lied, but not what he lied about or how it related to Nicaragua. or what went on in Nicaragua.
