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

They're so eager to make everyone hate them.

Maybe an inappropriate comparison given that people are dying, but it's real "80s high school movie principal" behavior

This poor girl can't catch a fucking break.

MFW Greta Thunberg is the most hated person in the 21st century because of her slightly unpopular political beliefs that the internet decided was "uncool", and not actual murderers or terrorists.

This species sucks.

It's a harmless octopus toy, even if not, she immediately took down that post for the explicit fear that it had the potential be interpreted as antisemitic. So this literally has to be a criticism in bad faith.

All I can think about is how if she was a hexbearer herself, she'd put up pictures of Ukrainian soldiers with the octopus toy plastered over their wolfsangels(spelling?) and sonnenrads (and sometimes swastikas) in response.

These are the people freaking out when they see a paraglider above them, thinking Hamas is invading their hometown of Derby, Kansas

Israel are really really REALLY fucking shit at propaganda.

Honestly if there's one thing this demonstrates it's that the ukronazis being terminally online fuckbois really played out in their favour because they were fucking really good at propaganda. The difference is massive.

Hmmmmmmm. I bet some of those people murdered by Israeli missiles could have also been my friends. You know, the ones butchered by Israel after they called Palestinians "animals"?

Besides being an obvious reach, the logic of this doesn't even make sense. If being anti-zionist is a dog whistle for antisemitism, why would she add another coded message?

I mean this is a blue-check making the accusation, but god damn is this frustrating.

Literal nazis getting saluted by politicians, but a blue octopus plush toy is the giveaway? I hate that fascists have managed to muddy the water so much

"Your ideology is morally superior to mine! STOP JUDGING ME, THAT'S NOT A HECKIN' WHOLESOME FREEDOMERINO, HITLER!"

CHUDs literally sound like their own strawmen of liberals.
