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

At least some of the comments have some sense.

An especially good point made by a maoist redditor:

Kommandram

yemeni armed forces*

it's important to take into account that the ansar allah movement leads the democratic yemeni republic, which has the majority of important points throughout the country under their control, in which they actively restructure the country by implementing actual characteristica of a central state, implementing land reform, overcoming tribalist and religious sectarian differentiations etc. the media especially of the nato countries usually call them 'houthi rebels' in order to present them as a militia, when the reality is that the very 'government' they support through the prolonged aggression led by saudi is the one without legitimacy.

Another relatively good one:

I praise them specifically blockading israeli & US shipping while both settler colonial regimes are committing genocide against Palestinians ~~but in all other regards they can get fucked.~~

All evidence points to them being extremely discriminatory in their embargo & that tracks seeing as they are not stupid & have no interest in spending tens of millions of dollars of their weaponry for no reason. Despite western news pretending that they are & pretending that they’re attacking all ships lol. As far as I see it, every nation & organisation on this planet should be disabling or commandeering all ships heading to israel while they commit a genocide.
