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

Really ironic that Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are Zionists since OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.

sigh I think this is real. I really love The Bends and Ok Computer. What a stupid, stupid decision. I don't even get it. You have to be so far up your ass to look at something like this and say "you know what, I should make a statement on this, people really value my opinion" wtf no, just shut the fuck up. "Israel" is killing a whole culture, protests are happening all around the globe, 95% of the world voted for a ceasefire. Even if you go off just statistics, siding with "Israel" is an awful choice.

i mean the situation is so horrific that they can't avoid making a statement. choosing to play a show in tel aviv in the face of protesting fans would not be apolitical.
