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

Am I missing something or does it have to be intentionally wrong to interpret GAZA written on a memorial to a victim of genocide as somehow pro genocide? Gaza and the Shoah are the same.

People who believe the ends justify the means

"it would be good if genocide were to stop, but that hardly excuses putting paint to stone"

To me at least, it requires lots of mental gymnastics to interpret this graffiti as effective in any way.

No, I don't think it's effective in any way, I think other users are correct when they note that this is a clearly ineffectual method of protesting that clearly has the potential for blowback like this; however, this still doesn't mean that those who respond in such a way aren't the biggest rubes on the planet.
