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 [email protected]

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

Awesome.

What is NOT awesome are the posts on the university subreddit.

https://twitter.com/thestustustudio/status/1786541753064931643

"At the George Washington University Gaza Solidarity Encampment today, the protesters held a "People's Tribunal" where they put President Ellen Granberg, Provost Christopher Bracey, the Board of Trustees, @GWPolice, and many others on trial."

"Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine"

"Calling for the execution of university officials is where free speech ends. Whoever led these chants should be expelled and face legal consequences. Zero tolerance for that behavior."

A more effective protest would have been them form a student union and saying meet our demands or we won’t pay tuition next semester.

As you know, there was always an American flag 🇺🇸 flying in that location till the protestors commandeered the companion flagpole and replaced the GW flag with a giant Palestinian flag which was illegal for several reasons inc. "When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size."

Fucking FLAG LAW NERDS, the worst kind of nerds.

The American flag is the funniest flag to desicrate because Americans are so weird about the US flag.

There's all kinds of rules about the US flag and american's know none of them and just make up new ones all th etime.

It's especially funny that flagfuckers are probably the most likely to break the special flag respecting rules.

I learned how to handle a flag in the Boy Scouts. I was like 7. Like more than half my class did. I guess learning it so young would explain why Americans tend to misremember shit.

My favorite is still them wanting to ban burning the flag when that's the method to retire them

I like asking people why burying soldiers with flags doesn’t count as the flags touching the ground. Is it technically only the top of the ground that they care about? Does it matter? Probably not.

People are similar about the St George’s Cross and Union Flag.

In fact, just calling it the Union Flag, not the Union Jack is triggering for racists, cause they so poorly educated.
