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

peppino-holy-shit tfw you're a democratically elected party and your constituents want you to represent their interests

One might describe these Labour candidates as Human Shields, being held up by the villainous Muslim-loving Hamas constituents to absorb the fire of the truth-telling free press.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

These politicians will say how Muslims are valuable contributors to a multicultural society right up until Muslim people want them to do something.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Ummm we’re not a democracy, sweaty. We’re a constitutional monarchy.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn Labour candidates are receiving pressure from groups to conform over their stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict? Has this ever happened before???

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

The small, humble, grass roots Israeli organizations were demonized when they propose that Israel has the right to defend itself. It shouldn’t be surprising that Labour is in the pockets of Big Muslim given their history of being being led by the antisemitic Corbynistas.

Pressurise is definitely not the right word, Melanie.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Or, like, a word at all.

British aristos when they learn poor people do a strategic non-participation:

charles-agony H'well that cahan't pohssibly be cricket, eh?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What about all the laborers who are being subjected to genocide right now Melanie, where's your concern for that labor?

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The thing is, she's a con/ tory...

LMFAO of fucking course. I love healthy bipartisanship in a two-party political system.

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

pressurise

Muslims are going around inflating british politicians like balloons. You think this is funny?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

You laugh, but this is definitely someone's fetish.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Gotta increase boiling temperature of labour to cook 'em roight

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Screw those Muslims for basing their electoral decisons on "not supporting candidates carrying out a genocide against people like me"

Tired of leftist means testing like "please don't kill my family because racism"

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

look, she's not make any kind of racial insinuations, just that there's a shadowy cabal of intellectuals and foreigners corrupting the spirit of the good commonfolk.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

"Islam is not a race hur hur hur"

Like bruh if anyone tried to say what she said but about Jewish Zionist groups, they'd be shunned as an anti-Semite.

Paying your wage with my earnings while you don’t do what I asked you to do is ransom apparently

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Those leaving labour are using their vote and dues as a human shield, making them electorally hamas, if not actually - starmer voice

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is opposition to genocide really that alien to these people?

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

One would say us-foreign-policy, but these are britbongs so yes, completely alien.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

This woman has a substack where she writes even more deranged things.

This the bleedin' most importan election a ou lives! If yu don't vooat for Labour, is a vooat for fackin' fascism!

I can't imagine Muslim is helpful in this headline unless you were trying to be islamophobic. And, as always, why is there any love lost over your shitty political group? If you need to conform in order to get someone to want to vote for you THEN CONFORM OR SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET OUT OF THE WAY FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Melanie Phillips was awarded a prize for "fighting for freedom of speech" in Copenhagen for her amazing book "Londonistan - How London is creating a terorrist state within". Clearly she is the person who is going to lead the fight against government overreach!

And here’s why this is bad
