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

Politics Comm can't understand why people don't like Harris running right at every opportunity. Must just be bad actors wanting trump to win cause they're critical. Or just upset DNC is sprinting right after convention

How many thousands of women and children were simply LIVING in their homes when Israel voluntarily and with full knowledge of their civilian presence dropped a 1,000lb JDAM on them to eliminate a singular HAMAS target or two?

Look I'm voting for Harris but I really, really dislike how she goes into explicit detail on the events of October 7th but doesn't go into explicit detail on Palestinians crushed, decapitated, blown in half or to bits by explosives, maimed, shot, and yes sometimes raped by IDF. This double-standard of evocative imagery is in itself pretty disturbing.

this boils my blood

Tbf he would get banned if he didn't add that to his comment. Even I do it sometimes on Lib subs even though I'm not American.

LIB

What are you arguing for, then? If you give them a pass to still vote for Kamala then your rhetoric causes no material change. Just eat the ban at that point.

It usually goes like "I'm voting for Biden but he's committing genocide and should be prosecuted for it hence I will now be looking for third party candidates like Jill Stein".

but why bother even talking with them if you have to say stupid shit to not get banned?

Yeah ironic liberalism is still liberalism

comfortable liberal who would be mollified by "we see you, we hear you" and empty platitudes mildly upset about lack of same
