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

Once religious symbolism has been appropriated by Nazis, it's okay to burn their flag lol.

It is the "israeli" flag being burnt. You don't get to decide if it should have the star. Iirc people did report being made uncomfortable when the emoji had it for, again, obvious reasons. Other symbols don't have the same weight of persecution in modern history as the star does.

Clearly nobody is worried about alienating Russians from the website. Big πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸŒΉ vibes coming off this instance

What the fuck does this even mean

This is ridiculous. You pretending that is the Israeli flag does not make it the Israeli flag lol.

You're just arguing semantics now. Anyone with a brain can tell that's the "israeli" flag, just without the symbol zionists put in it to weaponize anti-semitism.

Somehow I think this has a lot more to do with the accusation of antisemitism being weaponized successfully, if you're going to combat the allegations of antisemitically burning the Israeli flag by taking them seriously and using a make believe flag instead lol
