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

It should be “Burqa” instead of “Turban”

I thought he was trying to make some joke about her turning trans and needing a turban instead because "this is the future the left wants" or something.

The part of his brain that hates Sikhs got crosswired with the part that hates Muslims, while the lizard part of his brain that hates all brown people was overstimulated in general

In the medical literature we call this a 'Cracker Cascade'

Money paragraph from the op ed:

But I doubt that Jama is any kind of true bigot (even if the stridency of her anti-Israeli statements raises the possibility). What seems more likely is that she’s one of those serial activists whose focus will flit from cause to cause over the years, based on what’s in the news and what brings out the cameras. Once Gaza cools down and other conflicts take centre stage, who knows? We may see Sarah Jama in a turban, or a Ukrainian vyshyvanka, or perhaps even some kind of fez.

Woah, a politician focusing on current, dynamic issues, what a devastating critique.

An open fuckin bigot accusing other people of being bigots, now ain't that some hypocritical shit

Down playing genocide and engaging in racist pantomime, but no it's Jama who's the bigot, the fuckin gall of this scumsucking little toad

To be so spoiled that you consider the greatest problems of your country that its not racist enough and you see things that make you come out of your comfort zone. Must be nice.
