the_dunk_tank
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

He isn't just implying that caring about causes is suspicious (well, not entirely), he is saying that caring about this specific cause this much is suspicious.
What is he suspecting lies behind it though? China, Russia or Antisemitism seem to be the most likely answers as he is a turbolib who doesn't understand why having your countrys leadership full throatedly endorsing an ongoing genocide that they're instrumental in perpetuating is a cause of outrage.
Taking into account his second tweet ("I took it very seriously, but it would be weird if some average college student was obsessed with this."), I do think he's implying that caring for any cause outside the US is weird at least (expect for professionals like himself of course)
But I also think it's all bad faith to shift focus from the current events from a natsec worshipping, PMC shitlib as he would clearly have remembered the protests against the Iraq war by a big section of the american public
