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

The Israeli-Hamas war is clouding these polls.

This poll is clearly bullshit. It’s making it look like the genocide that we are currently participating in, is causing people to forget about Biden’s infrastructure bill!

Israeli-Hamas war

My eye twitches whenever I read this phrase. It was obviously workshopped in some boardroom somewhere to obscure the fact that Israel is carrying out a genocide of the entire Palestinian people.

"Israeli pogrom against Palestinians" is way more accurate than "Israel-Hamas War"

Agreed. Calling it a war in any sense is already a reframing of reality. Calling it Israeli-Hamas War is an even more cynical twisting.

When they call it the "war in Gaza" I get bothered too. Even when the media uses the word genocide, they usually lead with "alleged" like all these people aren't really dead and starving.

His infrastructure bill of busting strikes that are demanding better safety protocols right before a massive infrastructure disaster because of lack of safety protocols.

Not even sure which massive infrastructure disaster because of lack of safety protocols you're referring to
