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

Next time someone mentions the Holocaust we are to say "why should I care? I had no family or friends in Germany in the 40s."
No. Let's not dip our toes into antisemitism, sister.
I think they are highlighting the absurdity of the reddit post.
Yes, but one of the main difficulties with dunking on zionism is how easy you can stray into really shitty postition if you aren't paying attention to your takes.
Exactly, obviously the holocaust was horrific and it's very reasonable to care about other people even if you have no direct connection. I've seen a couple people say things like "why do these student protesters care so much, they aren't even Palestinian." It just tells me the people saying this have a different idea of compassion and humanity than others.
I agree, I'm pointing out how heartless this argument is, you don't need to be connected to a group to have an emotional response to their suffering.
I have no connection to it. I’m not even benefiting from using it as an excuse to condone genocide today. The Holocaust is a complete non-issue to me.
