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

Holy shit, that whole sub... that's just sad.

I did a bit of research on Judaism to reconcile with zionism/anti-semitism and all that, and I saw how different it is from zionism, and that zionism is actually more anti-semitic than being anti-zionist etc.

But imagine if you knew nothing about it, and then went on r/Jewish. You would be getting the WRONG impression for sure.

Looked against my better judgement, you weren't kidding. These reddit-logoers are completely buying into the antisemitic lies equating the genocidal fascist state of Israel with Judaism as a whole.

It's a shame. Judaism actually has a lot of really cool attitudes and lessons to it, at least, some interpretations. It's such an old religion that it can't be described as a monoloth any more than Islam can. I think it's really important for the Left to hold onto this fact and defend our Jewish comrades who are bravely going against the grain in their communities.

It’s likely that subreddit is astroturfed just like the rest of Reddit, if not harder
