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 feel deep sorrow for the Palestinian people and the suffering they are enduring at this time"

"Now watch this drive"

Conservatives, while monstrous, seldom pretend to even have a veneer of being decent. Liberal politicians love to act so righteous and just, then they sneak the knife in between your vertebra when you turn around.

Yea at least chuds wink and nod at the fact they know they're despicable.

Liberals have the exact same positions but actually expect you to respect and revere them and legitimately think their useless virtue signaling actually makes them better and more moral than everybody else.

Not to jump right into the "everything is tv" stereotype but its literally why Walter White admitting that he did everyrthing he did because he liked it and it made him feel good not because he was trying to do what's right for his family was character growth because he was at least acknowledging reality and not pretending to be some kind of martyr.

All the US had to do was swallow its pride, pin everything on Netanyahu and support his arrest, then allow for a cease-fire that inevitably fails and we return to the status-quo. Protests die down, international opposition weakens, and you wait until the next mass slaughter and do it again. Instead they think finger-wagging at Netanyahu while sending the entity billions in weapons and preventing his arrest is enough (it's not).

With Henry Kissinger's death, the thread of prophecy was severed. We now persist in the doomed world the failchildren have created.

Unfortunately that is way more than enough for baby brained liberal disphits.

Israel just hits too close to home for a country founded on the same genocide of indigenous peoples.

I appreciate Warren because she's the most effective litmus test.

If you don't reflexively scowl in disgust when somebody mentions her name you're a liberal.

Where is the actual vote in both houses? I was trying to find this and was frustrated. Made me realize that none of the media outlets give the actual name or code of the bill, they refer to "a legislative package".

It's because Congress only gets shit done by slipping all this stuff into must-pass-bills

Good thing they are not responsible for anything they do, it would destroy the psyche of any normal person to know that they are personally responsible for a genocide
