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

Holy shit this is about Hamas? Which has killed at most, what, 10k people during it's entire existence? Lol you've got to be shitting me what about the million people wiped out in just one American war of aggression?
"we might be subjected to a fraction of what we've subjected the world to"
Noah Smith is an insane bad take shit machine. He's reaching unimaginable bad takes levels not thought possible.

have lost the plot
When liberals say that what they mean is that things happening aren't conforming to the template in their treats (the plot they are looking for is there) so clearly it must be wrong. 
He's like a living, breathing LibChatBot. There needs to be a Noah Smith generator.
This is just City On a Hill Savage Hordes rhetoric with a thin veneer of pure logicbrain pragmatism (like the cool calculated bendydick slumberbatch characters on tv)
