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

What the fuck are we coping about? I don't fucking like America. It's that simple. Is there some context that would change my opinion? I doubt it.

Edit: I see now. The cope that they wanted, "it's worse than a waste of money because it's meaningless and it's being used to kill innocents like Palestinians who are suffering under an apartheid regime."

its their way to internalize the contradiction

when its glaring enough then dont focus on the contradiction instead focus on how your ideological opponents will point it out and the hate you feel towards them. then you dont have to address the elephant in the room

i fucking hate to invoke orwell because libs love him but this not even the kind of thing he wrote about... he explicitly wrote about this exact thing

They think that "pissing off" foreign governments is a huge accomplishment because they're redditors
