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

I'm a progressive but

I also see a lot of comments that are super similar, accusing Palestinians of causing civil unrest in neighboring countries that have taken them in. Bot spam or a concerted propaganda push

As a leftist myself, I’ve never understood our insistence on taking refugees and immigrants that cause trouble and would rather make their new country into their old country instead of integrating in to their new home.

Fuck off and die.

Yeah, fuck those refugees trying to recreate the homes we forced them out of!

Down with little Italy and Chinatown! Refugees need only integrate and suffer from lack of community like the rest of us.

Damn, I wonder why wrongly displaced people could possibly cause civil unrest. Can't they just be happy in their new homes?maybe-later-honey

Fuck this is making me think back to the Syrian refugee crisis and Reddit's coining of the term

I was a clueless lib back then and even I was horrified by what those people were saying.

I think some of the issues that they had in Sweden and Germany around the holidays, where these assaults or alleged assaults happened were concerning and those that did them should be punished, but it was of course the right wing taking a real issue and running with it to close down the borders and "send them all back"

It can easily be internalized propaganda or a simplistic view of the issues on receiving big immigration waves without proper support for such groups. I know I was in the later camp at some points.
