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

These are the people who will lose their minds if you mention how much worse shit would have been if Trump had won 2020 and scream at you for mentioning the nightmare of project 2025 or the move of the USA Embassy to Jerusalem under Trump's administration that directly emboldened the current violence.

Doesn't matter if they lose the right to bodily autonomy. Climate change doesn't matter. Christian fundamentalism extremism, anti LGBTQ laws, healthcare, expelling Palestinians from the USA....nope, none of that matters. Only thing that matters is that Biden supports funding Israel, something most of them didn't give a shit about a month ago.

Luckily Genocide Joe has focused on those other issues, right? He's not an oil-drilling diehard Catholic who's allowing civil rights to erode? He's for universal healthcare and is protecting immigrants?

It's so obnoxious that Blue MAGA does the same trick as Red MAGA. In 2020 he's going to Make America Great Again, in 2024 we're Keeping America Great. What about the past few years doesn't feel great to you, tankie?

Of course, Palestine, an issue the left has been famously silent on.

It's the kind of remark that should come with a coupon to slap them in the mouth for saying it.

Amerikkkan libs cannot conceive that someone might be more informed than them. They couldn't find Israel on a map a month ago, therefore the entire movement just didn't exist. Same reason Palestine and Israel were living in harmony until Iran sent in Hamas to start a war.

they don't even hear themselves. "Yeah, he's bad on this issue, but have you considered how important all these other issues that he's also bad on are?

'll never understand this way of thinking. You can focus on more than one thing at the same time.

I've come to the realization that a lot of Twitter leftists are single issue voters. It's just that that single issue changes based on what's pissing them off in any given week.

They really think the left is just as baby-brained as they are and only capable of focusing on one thing at a time to the complete exclusion of everything else. As if me being pissed off about Isn'trael doing a genocide right now means I've suddenly forgotten about the erosion of abortion access, the ever-increasing damage being done by climate change, fascist jackals attacking the human rights of my transgendered and POC comrades, or capitalist pigs making the world a shittier place for anyone less wealthy than them. But no, any time the left speaks up against whatever atrocity against human rights or human dignity the news is reporting on this week, they automatically mean "I no longer care about any other issue but THIS ONE" because that's just how human brains work or something.
