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

All sides are utter shit

They're starting to figure out that all the things that the US propaganda outlets have been pushing about Israel are bullshit, and the Zionists are in fact doing a genocide like we've been saying this entire goddamn time, but instead of applying the same level of scrutiny to the things they've been told about Hamas, they just turn off their brains and declare "whelp all sides are bad, what can you do shrug-outta-hecks" and just drop it forever.

They will just never admit they were wrong about something. Critically analyzing your beliefs and updating them accordingly is a bunch of commie talk.

Critically analyzing your beliefs and updating them accordingly

lol, having a basic degree of self-awareness. Definitely commie talk.

They're all bad

All sides are utter shit

Yet, your country is funding, protecting, and actively assisting in that extermination by one side. So why exactly are you whining about the audacity of being asked to care instead of trying to affect change where you can best; at home?
