I hate how transparently they can shift the definition of child whenever it suits them.

Kyle Rittenhouse and Brock Turner were boys

Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown were immediately executed as adults.

It truly speaks to the depravity of a society when they try to get a technicality on human suffering.

When teenagers express their individual choice and gender identity:

![frothingfash](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97c0eab6-88fe-4105-b2ca-63846b1258f2.png "emoji frothingfash") STOP POLITICIZING CHILDREN

When teenagers are forcibly removed from their homes by state action:

Actually, if you went outside of your bubble, you’d know rules-lawyering the age of minors is something someone does when they clearly aren’t committing crimes. I do it all the time. What say you, tankies ![smuglord](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png "emoji smuglord")

Um, aktuly, it wasn't a child. It was a Fighting Age Male.

I fail to see how it makes it less compelling. A young person just being a freaking person was uprooted and displaced by a brutal apartheid. Just because they made it past 5 doesn't mean they don't matter.

You said the man I killed was named Robert. You lied, liar. You said that I killed Robert when I did no such thing ![smuglord](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png "emoji smuglord") His name was Roberto

It reminds me of the aftermath of the East Palestine, Ohio spill. After Norfolk Southern set that shit on fire and the subsequent bloom of dark smoke was recorded from above, bursting through cloudcover, the fAcT cHeCkErS started running articles about how the 'viral video of a plume of smoke' was fake

What they meant was, "We 'found' one account posting a video misattributed to that specific spill so that we can post this headline"

"If they were old enough to hold a pen then they were old enough to hold a gun."

The pen is mightier than the sword so anyone holding a pen is an enemy combatant.

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
