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

The reason the 'So, your family suffered under "communism." Why should I care?' meme works so well is that the people communism oppressed were slaveowners, perpetrators and collaborators of genocide, and similar ghouls and/or goblins. You can't really go and kill children with their mothers and laugh it off the same way, doesn't work like that.

Somehow, even while they were killing, imprisoning, exiling, and otherwise oppressing these gusanos, life expediencies were skyrocketing so much that it doesn't show up in those statistics whatsoever soviet-hmm

Palestinian children are subhuman and future terrorists to them, so it does make sense if you've been socialized as a Zionist.

The reframing actually makes perfect sense to fascists. They think proud cruelty and punching down is the joke because that's the kind of "humor" they use.

It's incredible that zionists want to play this smug, tough guy then simultaneously cry and shit their pants over students chanting and refusing to talk to them. Take away the support of western zealots and the farce of a country falls. A bunch of pathetic losers who should be shot.
