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's because Uganda is full of the most crazy evangelical Christians you'll ever meet, thanks to funding from fundamentalist churches in the USA.

Christian version of Wahhabism?

You could say that. With regards to Israel, it is to do with the fact that they believe that all Jews need to live in Israel for Jesus Christ's second coming to take place, where they will also convert to Christianity or die, depending on the interpretation of the Bible these end times preachers use. So they support Israel to an extreme extent. To go against Israel is to go against God in their views. An anti-Semitic Zionism to bring about the second coming of Jesus, based off of radical interpretations of Revelations, Ezekiel, and other books in the Bible.

The Ugandan judge in question went to private missionary boarding schools for her education, and associated with the evangelical movement there.

This Whataboutism Claim is itself an example of Whataboutism and I can no longer take your statements seriously.

Please educate yourself before speaking again.
