Nah, I mean death to America, unlimited genocide on this evil country and all… but in the US simply expressing support for an organization on some official terrorist list isn’t a crime. I’m not sure what the ADL could sue them for that wouldn’t immediately get thrown out of court.

That said, we do live in a bourgeois dictatorship so of course Congress can find all sorts of ways to make their life difficult, but that’s just to be expected when we’re taking the correct line against imperialism.

I do commend Hamas, btw

It is in some ways and formats. The podcast 5-4 had a very good episode on this as even offering any level of legitimate/legitimizing support could very easily be interpreted by the courts to be a criminal action.

Mainly discovery process from frivolous lawsuit with sympathetic judge can paralyze them for half a year, then friendly leaks from unnamed sources familiar with the matter leaking something embarrassing, all this time they have to pay lawyers to fight it all. Like 1st amendment is very malleable

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
