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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Do we brigade any more? The comments section is horrible.

Here’s the top comment.

Funny how no one mentions that Egypt (an Arab nation) also has an Iron Curtain style border with Gaza, yet they don’t get shit when people are talking about the Gaza blockade.

Link but CW Reddit:

The person who wrote this never spoke or hanged out with pro-Palestinian people like ever lmao, that person just imagined a scenario and decided to make it reality.

Yes yes we know Egypt has a border with Gaza and that border has a huge fence and they're not allowed to cross it. But are they also aware that Egypt is nothing but another US vassal? That Egypt is being ruled by a comprador regime that is friendly to "Israel"? Destroy what links the Egyptian regime with the US and "Israel" and you will see that blockade end in a second.

Not sure where that person is trying to go, countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States get a lot of shit for either directly supporting the genocide or not doing anything about it (Oil embargo? Hello?) Perhaps this person is actually a pan-arabist who's incredibly mad because an Arab nation is not doing internationalism to help their brothers in need, but I don't think this is the case...
