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

I often wonder what the media thinks it's doing when it normalizes neo-nazism like this

The only conclusion I can come to is that there are a ton of quiet neo-nazis in journalism

It thinks "Slava Ukraini rah rah people love this shit". I bet half of them don't even look close enough to notice the insignia. They're paid to uncritically churn out fluff, not to investigate or question.

Journalism is full of liberals. Liberals are actually very tolerant of fascists. It's the communists they can't abide and will actively censor.

I think they're not even motivated on ideological grounds, they like their job, their salary, the social position it affords them, so they don't rock the boat, and push whatever their superiors ask them to push. They probably think not any of this will ever affect them anyway.

you give "journalists" too much credit. they're all state media propagandists and only the ones who can be gently guided by the spooks make it

if you write an article and give it to a journalist they won't even read it a lot of the time and will just publish it under their own name

If Inventing Reality is anything to go off of, the journalists might not be neo-nazis but their bosses certainly are.
