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

Somehow I have a positive impression of Algerian people. I've known like 8 of them and they've all been based or at least very nice people

I cannot say the same for Iranian Americans

That's because the Algerians living abroad left Algeria because they were working class people looking for jobs, Iranians left Iran because they were rich and close to the shah

One group actually suffered the bloody consequences of other's (fr*nch) actions.

And the other bitches online and simps for Nazi royalty that nobody inside Iran wanted.

Bonus points if they keep trying to insinuate that Iranians in Iran don't approve of their government; we all saw how many people inside Iran were "protesting" the gov during the women, life, freedom movement.

It had more support outside of Iran than inside Iran. I don't like the iri either, but pretending that Iranians don't approve of (and want) the iri (and the policies they push out) is like looking at the US's incredibly racist history of presidents, senators, Congress men/women and thinking that Americans aren't racist.

Policies get popular for a reason. The far right in Europe are never going to support migrants and refugees bc Europeans themselves are largely racist.
