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

Somebody tweeted about his "tourism-based economy" substack take and I couldn't tell what was a joke and what was real. I checked the article with a ctrl-f for tourism and there it was. I knew Smith was a dipshit but I still gave him way too much credit.

I wanted to write some asinine tourism project pitch, but I held off until the horrors of the region's conflict reached a boiling pointso-true

From an open air prison to a resort for the rich, the Palestinians changed from captives to servants.

What a shit plan.

We'll know if Matty Yglesias was in this thread because his 1 Billion American book follow up will be called "Every Person Gets a State".

all these stupid "{VARIABLE} state solutions" are always pipe dreams because at the end of it all the Zionist Entity will demand that the other states be kept in a position of ghettoized sovereignty in which case it's not a solution at all and just a way to sabotage Palestinian independence.

We have a "two state solution" right now, and it's obvious that even the collaborationist PA government in the west bank isn't allowed to make its own policies or enforce their own laws. Gaza doesn't even get to make its own electricity, food or water. Do you think Israel would ever accept a fully sovereign Palestinian state? Allow the "human animals" to have their own air force and army? It's never going to happen unless they are forced to accept it.

Yeah this fucking cretinous neolib is over there coming up with binders full of disruptions and a mind palace of intricate wishcasting, meanwhile on planet earth the fascist Israelis are doing Korea war style indiscriminate mass bombing on Gaza against 1 million children in a massive open air cage

As is usually the case, all of the atrocities, all the suffering and all the killing, are said to be worth it because some assholes will get treats out of it. so-true
