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

MODERATORS
Reading the comments there sure was a hell of a peek into the brains of these people. They genuinely say that everyone pro Palestine is a terrorist. I will admit that I haven't bothered to look at comments on Reddit, but it's pretty unsettling to read tbh.
If Israel and Hezbollah go to war - people will see suffering and death in Israel but also in Lebanon. Sadly the coverage of Israel will probably be at least ~5x as great. But there will be blood on the streets in Lebanon. I worry that some people will use the opportunity to start to use "they" and "them" when referring to anybody Lebanon. In other words "They shoot missiles into Israel so - yeah - some of them are going to die. That's how war works. Don't want to be attacked? Don't attack." The same 'logic' will be openly used for the genocide in Gaza. And this vile "They're getting what they deserve" logic will start to go mainstream and even be used on networks like MSNBC that are usually careful to not be ghoulish by saying the quiet part out loud.
