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.

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

Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire Cuts Ties With Candace Owens Amid Israel Feud (www.thedailybeast.com)

The feud began last November when Owens tweeted that “no government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide.” Soon after, Shapiro publicly called Owens’ behavior “disgraceful”

Spoiler: she doesn't actually care about Palestinians, she's just anti-semitic.

Owens posted to X a series of Bible verses suggesting “you cannot serve both God and money.” That pointed remark was viewed by many as a not-so-subtle use of the antisemitic “dual loyalty” trope against Shapiro, who responded: “Candace, if you feel that taking money from The Daily Wire somehow comes between you and God, by all means quit.” Owens hit back that her boss was “utterly out of line” and “acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now.”

btw, pretty sure he couldn't fire her because the CEO wouldn't let him

Owens later liked a social-media post asking conservative rabbi Shmuley Boteach whether he is “drunk on Christian blood again” [and] defended Kanye West's remarks.

[She previously suggested] that 'secret Jewish gangs' control and perpetrate 'horrific acts' against people in Hollywood
