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

Same person is out here advocating for the US intervening in Ukraine the same way they helped israel shoot down iranian drones. Or maybe that's supposed to be some sort of irony. Regardless it would cause more suffering than this iranian strike ever could
More bangers include (paraphrasing):
its just such powerful idealism. Like I'm with them, mostly, morally, but all I can see is them disavowing absolutely any mechanism for actually achieving any of those moral outcomes besides "spontaneous self organization of the working class", and I'm not convinced they wouldn't find a way to disavow that too as soon as it formed an organization or made any decision they disagree with.
If anything the iranian strike was perfectly tailored to beat this argument of "well it was just iran lobbing drones and missiles at the israeli working class" because they weren't. They targeted only military installations, effectively zero civilian effect besides stress.
But also, tried for war crimes by whom? Can’t be another state or collection of them because they just said their right do anything don’t real and is an artifice. The direct democratic will of the decentralized working class in a post-state society? Well, if that was the ultimate political body of the global socio-economic system then we’d be in a situation where Israel and Hamas were already non-entities so there’d be no trial to be had.
Which sums up the issue with this sort of approach to geopolitics, the solution to the problem is based on having a system in which the problem categorically cannot exist, but with no road map to get to that system; how do they propose we get there from here?
