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

Politics Comm can't understand why people don't like Harris running right at every opportunity. Must just be bad actors wanting trump to win cause they're critical. Or just upset DNC is sprinting right after convention

I don't want Trump to win and that's why I'm not voting for Harris, since she's functionally identical to Trump.

At this point you can expect the democrats to do something utterly deranged like put Trump in the cabinet as an Ultimate Display of Bipartisanship so yeah I'm not voting for the party that will literally put republicans in office

Lmao the chuds just illegal-to-say until they get the big wet boy back.

Stop making Israel an election issue and worry about your own damn country.

My own damn country is the one arming their genocide. I didn't make it an election issue, they did. Fuck you.

jingoism is genuinely a disease. why should I have less empathy for people because they’re outside lines that dead generations drew around landmasses

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

why should I be expected to have more empathy for a person across the country in Los Angeles who I will never know than a person across the world in Palestine who I will never know. They weigh the same to me

Arming and providing cover against anyone that would think about helping stop it.

Oh and also cutting off aid due to unfounded Israeli alligations towards unwra

nah dude you can totally bear-hug a genocide in a country where like 75% of the genocider population routinely cycles through living in the US without affecting domestic politics at all, get it through your head. it's totally fine and doesn't affect your life at all that your manager at work personally shot 12 palestinian children in the head at point blank range.

How many thousands of women and children were simply LIVING in their homes when Israel voluntarily and with full knowledge of their civilian presence dropped a 1,000lb JDAM on them to eliminate a singular HAMAS target or two?

Look I'm voting for Harris but I really, really dislike how she goes into explicit detail on the events of October 7th but doesn't go into explicit detail on Palestinians crushed, decapitated, blown in half or to bits by explosives, maimed, shot, and yes sometimes raped by IDF. This double-standard of evocative imagery is in itself pretty disturbing.

this boils my blood

Look I'm voting for Harris

it's the r/politics religious mantra

That thread is so painful.

These idiots would rather burn to death than get out of a house if a 'tanky' said the house was on fire

this-is-fine Heh, these stupid tankies keep saying the house is on fire. They're probably repeating Russian propaganda to benefit Trump.

It's always the same. Down to the well actually here's why turning it into glass is worse than just starving them like comments.

But brah, it’s totally acceptable to overreact when one candidate doesn’t give us every little fucking thing we want, and MORE. They better cowtow, or I’m gonna keep being mean in comments because that’s useful and productive for reealz.

I’ll totally trash their bullshit because I’m not “working for the man”, dawg. Kamala is just more bullllshiiiit or whatever stupid thing we people say. Palestine on ma dingdong, and JillStein4Prez ✌️💩💩

It was a mistake to look at the comments dead-dove-3
