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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

"stop showing me the horrors" stop supporting the horrors. stop lending credence to the people doing the horrors. stop trying to block out the horrors. stop trying to unfocus your brain from the horrors because it's no longer in your interest to face them. you do not get a second of peace. you want to forget this is happening. you will not be allowed to forget. you do not get that privilege when you are an active launderer of monsters.

you will either develop empathy for the victims and indignity towards the machine or you will be made to feel guilty for your abettance of it with the last shreds of empathy you have. if you are ever, ever made ignorant of what exactly you are supporting, it is imperative that you are fucking Ludovico'd with the consequences of your ideology until your cognitive dissonance is hammered away and you fall with a side that exists in reality, you mealy-mouthed fence-sitting war-criminal-hosting spineless piece of shit.

All she would have to do is publicly state that she was wrong to support the Democrats, denounce the Democratic Party for genocide, and tell people to never vote Democrat again. It's actually really easy and is the bare minimum she can do with her platform. I'd demand this as the absolute bare minimum from anyone who supported the Nazi Party. And like I said, it's easy. Look, I'll do it now:

When I was a child I naively supported the candidate from the moderate wing of the American Nazi Party (Barack Obama), thinking that the Party was going to reform and stop murdering civilians. I was wrong. I have since grown and learned that the entire American Nazi Party is unreformable and now denounce the entire party and anyone who supports them.

Done. I can do it, and Contra's older and believes herself more mature than I, so it should be a piece of cake for her.

Nah after carrying so much water for them, shutting the fuck up isn't enough. She coulda stayed quiet if she'd stayed quiet, now she has to work to undo the harm from vocally supporting genocide instead.

All she would have to do
