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

I wonder what percentage of gazan landlords are occupiers. Probably non-zero, but the majority? Wouldn't be shocked.

If my landlord was Israeli I would not be cleaning

i don't think the Israeli blockade & Hamas' government would allow such an arrangement. the only thing i'm getting with israeli landlords wrt Gaza are allegations israeli landlords wanted hostages to keep up rent, lmao

I was just assuming given that Bill Gates bought up all that land in southern Gaza when the settlers there left.

according to the norwegian refugee council that actually was defaulted to state ownership, but folks took em up in the courts for portions of it. unclear how that turned out

hmm, death panel was covering it from a local who claimed bill gates bought the land off the settlers, would be a weird miss for them

it's pretty bleak but death panel usually is

the gates land purchase is just an aside, not the focal point of the ep
