Fuckin purity testttt scream the libs.

Like the rules she allegedly broke are so easy to follow. Do the opposite of supporting Israel. Not like the rules are "personally destroy the state of Israel" or "kill Benjamin Netenyahu"

Just don't support giving them more weapons. Don't support making it illegal to be against giving them weapons.

Truly an easy bar to clear for anyone who has any morals. Yes a purity test if you will. Purity tests are necessary and important. I ain't drinking water that isn't some standard of pure ("wow just because there's visible shit in your water you won't drink it what a purity tester") and I won't vote for someone or endorse someone who isn't some standard of pure ("wow just because she doesn't mind a lillll genocide")

I love (by which I mean hate) how 'purity test' has just come to refer to having any uncompromising moral position whatsoever.

Again it's one of those cliche situations of the left wants to not kill Palestinians and the right wants to kill all of them and liberals are like, "but you gotta compromise to get what you want ..."

Though hearing the Biden superpacs are focusing almost entirely on digital stuff makes me hope that most of these are just shills, even the downvoting is inconsistent, like the horde missed some comments or misinterpreted some of the commenters to think they're pro-lib when they're not. Very strange either way.

Liberals don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

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
