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

Look, I don't care if Hasan has money, silencing the largest pro-palestine voice we have and allowing Zionists to paint everyone who speaks out against their genocide as anti-Semitic is bad.
It's not about Hasan. The largest streaming platforms are going to make talking about the genocide illegal. Good chance the rest of the internet follows. This isn't 1950s anymore; YouTube, Insta, TikTok, Twitch, Twitter. As stupid as it is, these are the places people under 70 get their news from now. We've seen feds try to ban TikTok already, they wouldn't do that if this shit didn't change minds.
Control of the narrative and propaganda is insanely powerful and basically the main tool western imperialism uses to control it's people. Total narrative control of the internet is their last step to crush the last little bit of truth that leaks through and causes trouble for them.
I don't think we should be downplaying this as just Twitch drama. The western left hardly has any tools, maybe we shouldn't do the feds job for them and provide 0 resistance to the dismantling of the tiny amount of voice we have.
These zionists also are only singling out Hasan right now because they already successfully got most of the smaller Arab and pro-Palestinian streamers banned for making a joke about hummus.
This is the new McCarthyism, with the bill conflating antisemitism with anti-Zionism.
Well stated. I second this.
I agree.
