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

jesus christ the arrogance of this man. what the fuck possessed him to get on this stage with people who wrote the books that his Wikipedia research is summarizing. this man couldn't find israel on a map until a couple of days ago and thought Erdogan is the president of israel. and Norm just calls him on it over and over while continuously mispronouncing his name.

my favorite quote: "if Israel nuked Gaza and killed all 2 million people living there, I'm not sure it would count as genocide."

bonus: Hasan's coverage was so brutal that he rage quit his own stream 2 days in a row. he knows he got owned.

Christ almighty I hope people’s takeaway is about the astonishing level of knowledge and poise on the pro-Palestine side rather than “hehe funnyman norm didn’t know this irrelevant streamer’s name”

Also it’s so obvious destiny prepped with Dronerbox, a goddamn two person human ouroboros of shit. All the “intl law is meaningless” and “realistically…” is straight of their playbook

Lex Friedman’s audience are the most credulous goons imaginable, totally ignoring Mouni’s arguments because he’s the most straightforward and even-keeled, nothing but tone

Also I’m sorry to keep spamming this thread, but Benny totally dodged the Cecil Rhodes point. Just absolutely ignored any comparison between colonialisms

For me, it's just the cherry on top. It was good to listen to someone as well educated in the topic as Norm.

the first bit about history was incredibly impressive. but then the trashman derailed the whole thing.
