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

Red star after their Cuba trip article, posted one calling for not supporting AOC in her reelection for her support of Biden and then made this one.

They have been on a roll, i hope they start the presidential election with one article calling for not voting for biden, it would make great dunktank material for all the libs it would piss off

Dont red star currently control the NPC?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

They have 3 members on NPC and one of the two cochair slots. That’s not a majority but if you count BnR and Marxist Unity Group there is a Marxist majority on the NPC.

Nah, I mean death to America, unlimited genocide on this evil country and all… but in the US simply expressing support for an organization on some official terrorist list isn’t a crime. I’m not sure what the ADL could sue them for that wouldn’t immediately get thrown out of court.

That said, we do live in a bourgeois dictatorship so of course Congress can find all sorts of ways to make their life difficult, but that’s just to be expected when we’re taking the correct line against imperialism.

I do commend Hamas, btw

It is in some ways and formats. The podcast 5-4 had a very good episode on this as even offering any level of legitimate/legitimizing support could very easily be interpreted by the courts to be a criminal action.

Mainly discovery process from frivolous lawsuit with sympathetic judge can paralyze them for half a year, then friendly leaks from unnamed sources familiar with the matter leaking something embarrassing, all this time they have to pay lawyers to fight it all. Like 1st amendment is very malleable

If America ever decides to get on the right side of this issue there are a lot of non profits theyre going to have to take a hard look at.

حماس الأم حاضنة, بجيش القدس والنصر
فنعم الجند قسام. أسود في الوغى تجري
وهم في البحر حيتان, وفي العلياء كالصقر
وهم بالليل عباد, وبالأسحار والفجر

عن القسام فالتسأل, بني صهيون بالأمر
ففي الفرقان كم ذاقو, من الآهات والذعر
وفي سجيل لم ينسوا, أبابيلا من الطير
وهذا العصف قد أشفى, وأثلج خلجة الصقر
