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
i don't see how these bozos imagine--after witnessing the biden administration enthusiastically sell out the muslim / arab sympathizing portion of the dem coalition to watch their families and friends be slaughtered by organized genocide--they can expect any protection from it going forward. that is the lesson here: if they can do it to any of us this easily and eagerly, they can and will do it to all of us as soon as some ghoulish and inhumane calculation of imperial preservation triggers it. unless, of course these specific bozos imagine themselves different / better / more worthy of protection than "those people". which is very possible.
as someone here once quipped, "We gotta do genocide over there, so we don't have genocide over here!"
and the not protecting abortion, and letting covid run rampant, and breaking the rail strike, and continuing the obama-trump border fascism, and...
indeed, though those are all things that the media has been able to obscure for many americans using some managed narratives. the palestinian genocide has pierced the veil of the spectacle by virtue of its sustained and incredible violence for so many months. the hasbara campaign has been firing on all cylinders, but it's not enough. too much footage is getting out. and the administration's only move is to insist that we all deny what we are seeing and try to ban the most visible and accessible technology that is delivering it to people's screens.
its hard to overstate how much less control US empire has today over what people are seeing compared to 2003 and the iraq war.
if we dont all trans people will be genocided! what do you mean theyre currently doing that in florida, obviously itd be way more genocide if biden wasnt in charge!
