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

And not to go too hyperbolic with it, but it's the same logic people use to deny genocides, especially the Holocaust in the past and right now the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. An often cited thing about the Holocaust is we don't have a direct order from Hitler to Himmler that says "hey, kill all the Jews. Thanks."

We can't assume that Israel is intentionally killing civilians, but we can absolutely assume that Hamas wants their own people to die to make Israel look bad, to the point that they'd literally blow up their own hospitals. Does their evil know no limits?
