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

our survival

Being against genocide and apartheid isn't a purity standard. It's the literal ground floor of not being a monster. Even some liberals can clear that one.

I thought they were big fans of Israel?

They want a one-state solution in the same way the U.S southern Evangelical death cult wants a one-state solution.

I wish this were a unique thing but I've seen "literally any moral standard is purity politics and purity politics is bad" in the wild before, years ago.

It's a weirdly common take. Shouldn't get any runtime at all considering where a lack of standards gets you, yet here we are.

maybe-later-kiddo is drumf running? That's all I need to know about politics

If you can't meet the standard of "don't kill people and steal their land" then you need to fucking go

"You should be including women in your activism if you are a leftist. That fucking includes TERFs and SWERFs. If you make our survival conditional on meeting a purity standard, you're disgusting."

Funny how the paradox of intolerance gets thrown out the window the second libs have their eyes on the prize

'Leftist' is literally used in Israel as a pejorative

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

Who first uttered the words "purity test"? Whoever that was has singlehandedly set progress back by twenty years.

"Only we fascists get to hold people's survival to an arbitrary purity standard, if you do it to us you're a disgusting untermensch"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Yes, lets add a bunch of unhinged nationalists to our leftist orgs. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm sure they have a good argument this time around.blob-no no no-gru bugs-no

spoiler I have duly considered the merits of their argument, have weighed the evidence... wall frothingfash pit how-compelling-flipped :::

Translation: My zionist belief that Palestinians are subhumans worthy only of genocide is pure and ok and if you stand with them you hate all Jews
