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

No American officials attended

Not a single pledge of allegiance was heard during the entire funeral

not one person even pulled out their phone and loaded the burger king app for a chance to win a free Whopper Jr. with purchase of any combo meal.

Needs more superlatives, that’s what makes writing good.

This may be the most disgusting thing NYT had said this whole genocide. Like there are more monumental statements, but this is so openly and needlessly bigoted and unhinged.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't consider NYT writers to be fully human

So weird that they wouldn't be buried in or have a family flying symbols of the state most complicit in and actively downplaying their murder. thinking-about-it

β€œThe Democratic Party is the party of the KKK!”

MFW the biggest challenge to the current establishment is one that wants it to double down, and reimport even more exploitation onto its own citizens via imperial boomerang.

Oh she only acquired citizenship, was deeply Tutkish and proPalestinian?
