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

You do realize that free expression requires that you permit things as reprehensible as racism, transphobia, homophobia right? You're literally doing the "Well I dislike it, so I'm revoking their rights" thing. I frankly don't give a shit what they "call for" unless they're trying to incite imminent unlawful acts. The crutch for the weak-minded and stupid is asserting yourself as the only moral and political authority and pretending that this will not immediately blow back up in your face. If being an actual liberal with principles is right-wing, then I guess I'm right-wing. It's better than being a spineless succ with no principles and who thinks liberty is removing the liberty of others.

they just SAY it!

holy shit am I tired of 'free speech absolutists' showing up to defend Nazis and literally nobody else

Idk about y’all, but I like it when the fascists are stupid enough to out themselves to the world.

My thoughts exactly - I want my enemies to have a uniform to be pointed, named and shamed at.

remember in world war 2 when the Allies defeated the nazis by naming and shaming them?

I love how everyone's like "I like knowing who the nazis are!" and absolutely zero ideas on what to do about them

isnt the point of outlawing it that now you can do something about fascists outing themselves to the world? ffs liberals are so spineless

frfr. they secretly love the fascists bc who else would kill the communists?

The lame-ass libs in the comments checks out, but I also looked at the article and it gets bizarre. Feel free to correct me if I am misunderstanding. But the fascists might have been showing up to support the event that was "gatecrashed". As the person giving the speech and the event itself seem to have been anti-trans anyway. But the TERFs get completely glossed-over and the lawmakers are pissed about the hateful fascists only. "These laws are part of our unwavering commitment to challenge antisemitism and hatred whenever it occurs." Just an amazing level of contradictions being shown by liberals/conservative-liberals.

There is hardly anything liberal about tolerating explicitly anti-liberal/anti-democratic forces.

That's... the most liberal thing imaginable.

heartbreaking

All the redditors in that thread are like: "I don't like nazis but..."
