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 [email protected]

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 survivors of an American genocide protesting another American genocide by causing slight delays to shipping which makes plastic shit 5% more expensive.

The Houthi should be Marvel superheroes and models of the bare minimum of protest against genocide. If they sink an aircraft carrier they won't kill half as many volunteer sailors as those sailors have murdered Palestinian children.

if even that, it's more like 2%, of course corpos will use this moment to justify a 10% hike or something, which they will then never lower, never let a good tragedy go to waste, etc.

my shipment of sex arses is 1 week late and now I have no choice but to support genocide

You'd have to imagine that aircraft carriers have the finest lifeboats available... I doubt more than 100 soldiers would die, probably fewer.

you'd think so, but there's a good chance the contractor pocketed all the money that was supposed to go towards making them seaworthy

I dunno, there's like 5,000 people on each of those fuckers; 100 seems like an awfully small number for a town sinking into the ocean lifeboats or not.
