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

Be pretty cool if we could stop participating in foreign conflicts for like two weeks.

Be pretty cool if the US could stop funding genocide, fullstop.

Nah this totally will make up for it and the latest arms we sent them

The comments of "uncommitted voters" moving the goalpost is pretty infuriating

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

"moving the goalposts" means anywhere between comparing a similar situation and allowing the natural flow of a conversation instead of letting the lib set a very narrow path for you to walk down.

Much like "virtue signalling" it's a thought terminating cliche meant to silence criticism

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not even moving the goalposts. Ceasefire means fucking ceasefire.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They were doing the same thing when Trump had to go to court a couple times. It was all "where will the goalposts move now?" about him being "held accountable". People want actual consequences, not an awkward afternoon in a courtroom where he is sentenced to pay money he will never pay.

Also, the toothless, technically correct "arrested twice" as if he was stuffed and cuffed and thrown in a cell.

Consequences are for the proles.

That ports real reason is drilling for gas under gaza
