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
It's seriously angering me how like, what he did is just being brushed off as "mental illness"
They will convert all social ailments into personal flaws people have in their brains that they can use to discredit them as they see fit. Fuckin' hate liberals.
If you do that, you don't have to look at any possible reasons for it. Can't have downers ruining our adventures overseas.
Not only that but the underlying assumption is that the mentally ill (and those considered mentally ill) cannot and do not have political agency. They are nothing but the sum of their afflictions.
It's unbelievably disgusting.
Liberals are hardcore bigotted towards mental illness and see "being mad" as an easy out to dehumanise or delegitimize people.
They do this all the time, every little thing becomes mental illness, even mild complaints are suddenly 'anxiety-depression'. To them all minorities and the poor are mentally ill, no fucking different than the damn chuds, what toxic individualism does to a mf class.
If someone did this in front of a Russian or Chinese embassy these exact same people would be calling them a hero
Like, honestly, I think there's a fair case to be made about the whole "Don't diagnose others" thing sometimes
