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

Odds are there's some weapons component factory in your area, given how they like to spread those out everywhere. And there's certainly a prison and a police station. And it's pretty rare for any of those to burn down. Idk where I'm going with this, not trying to be edgy or fedpost, just saying people lived normal lives next to the concentration camps, ya know? Cognitive dissonance or willful ignorance or whatever it is, seems to be a pretty strong force, I don't see why the right wouldn't also be able to believe something and completely ignore it at the same time.

yeah I hear that. prioritizing personal safety or comfort over action isn't unrelatable lol, there are things I believe are terrible that I don't take direct action against in my community. personally I'm going to wait until I'm old before I start seriously considering assassinating politicians or whatever.

but people did firebomb abortion clinics and get away with it at one point. they close at night so it would be relatively easy. also lots of people believe that these unbaptized babies don't just die but go to hell so that's a whole other level lol.

still tho I do understand what you are saying. I guess I could have the same opinion about vegans who don't blow up slaughterhouses right. its just something I always felt about abortion activists probably because I already hard then lol
