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.

Liberals are universally self-obsessed and weak-minded, giving them ptsd is an easy but effective strategy, if for no other reason than to unbalance them personally and socially
Obviously doesn't work on the true psychopaths among them, but even they recognize the cost of the chilling effect REAL headless babies has on public discourse
The way I see it, if they want to normalize headless toddlers then they should straight up pay a very personnel psychic cost for it
If there was any real justice, they'd all be flown en masse to Gaza to dig the graves
Who are they? Joe Biden? Contrapoints? Your liberal relative that votes Democrat?
YES, literally all of them and more, ANY mfs who even acts or pretends the Democratic Party isn't engaging in a genocide
Are you pressed over this basic ass take lmao????
I actually am pressed, yes. I figured on a forum where content warnings are so commonplace, there wouldn't be so many people flagrantly in support of traumatizing as many people as possible. And this clearly isn't an effective political strategy either, considering every single Twitter user I've seen become more empathetic towards Palestine after seeing the images was already a comrade but now is much likelier to develop mental health issues - a net negative to the cause!!
STOP and chill out, I am not talking about comrades or people sympathetic to the Palestinian plight, in fact those people should not watch videos of headless toddlers, I am talking only about people who stan the genocide or make excuses for it, and I made that perfectly clear to the point that it's pretty wild for you to start accusing me of wanting to "traumatize as many people as possible" cause that is not what I support
If a person supports the genocide or parties committing it, they should be traumatized end of story
If a person DOES NOT support the genocide or the parties committing it, then they should avoid videos that could traumatize them since it's not healthy and they don't deserve it
I just don't see the point in focusing so much on punishment. It's not politically useful. Yet, I've expressed similar sentiments recently so I shouldn't get so pressed...
I will also apologize for conflating you and your individual stance with collective sentiments I've seen here and on Twitter.
Trauma can absolutely be politically useful, just look at how Trump's ptsd is fucking up his campaign; he's depressive, distracted, and lethargic, qualities we all want our enemies to have in abundance
It's literally the concept of demoralization, which politically and historically is one of the most crucial ingredients for victory in practically any sphere of life, especially politics and class struggle
We want our enemies to be unstable, depressed and anxious, it increases the chances of them miscalculating and making mistakes which in turn increases the opportunities to oppose their genocidal intentions
I see no difference between forcing genocide supporters to view the result of their actions, and parading German civilians at gunpoint through concentration camps after WW2.
Eisenhower was right to do the latter.
