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 never got a single ruble for my anti-nuclear/anti-war activism back in the 70's either. Fucking scams I tell you.

anti-nuclear/anti-war activism back in the 70's

thank you for your services 07 🥇

*thank you for the anti-war.

France used nuclear to get fossil fuels <10% 40 years ago. Meanwhile, the US continued building more coal plants, that were only displaced by oil and natural gas in 2015.

Don't forget Germany replacing all of their nuclear power with coal. Thanks Green Party!

That was post Fukushima, I just meant the coal expansion in the 80s and 90s was due to the decrease in nuclear; anti-nuclear during the 70s through 2000s was equivalent to being pro-coal

TIL Soros is actually Anti-Zionist: https://www.jta.org/archive/in-rare-jewish-appearance-george-soros-says-jews-and-israel-cause-anti-semitism

As much as Jews may not like what Soros has to say — at the Nov. 5 meeting, he called for “regime change” in the United States and talked of funding projects in “Palestine” — they are eager to get Soros involved in giving to Jewish causes.

EXTREMELY critical support

Didn't know that. That's actually pretty cool.

Wow

Why though? I'd expect a billionaire to fully support colonialism

He probably wants a sustainable Israel instead of YOLO dumpster fire Israel. He's smart enough to know what comes next after this stype of stuff.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Maybe he's annoyed enough by the genuine antisemitism exacerbated by israel that it outweighs his capitalist interests for him in this particular matter

Bringing a class action lawsuit representing all the outside agitators, crisis actors, and putin shills who are owed back wages.

Wonder if these revelations will spark any sort of panic in the admin

Probably not

Love this shit. The orgs/"donations" they're taking about are not cash handouts to protesters, they're salaries and funding for petty bourgeois organizers who's whole job is to walk into grassroots orgs and defang them.

The money Soros donates to corporate activists is probably 100x more effective at killing movements than the NYPD which honestly seems to actually build them up with every penny they spend.
