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 think these past few months more than anything have really cemented in me that white Americans do not view Arab Muslims as human beings. You'd think I would have already known that, I lived through 9/11 and the Iraq War. I even remember the same thing being said back then, that gay people and women shouldn't oppose the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq because Muslims are simply the enemy.
this is truly sick shit on display. They can't consider for a second why queer people might sympathize with Palestinians. The thought only goes as far as "Palestinian = Muslim = Evil." And they don't even offer sympathy for these protestors, it's an immediate death threat. Telling people that Palestinians would throw gay people off a bridge? Jesus Christ, and you're supposed to be better? Making up fantasies in your head about queer folk getting stoned to death or thrown off bridges because they dared to suggest Palestinians should be allowed to be alive?
