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

MODERATORS
The choices were go to prison and shut up or kill Palestinians. Shitting on the dead because their suicide is not going to be the spark that saves the Palestinians is kinda fucked. If you don’t agree then that’s fine, but I’m disengaging at this point. Hope you get over yourself at some point and realize people do things based on what they think is right and not if you personally agree with them or not. Go be mad at someone else.
Sort of tortured binary thinking there.
There are more options than
It's ultimately the christo-leftist self sacrifice ideology that we see on display here. These people fetishize the idea of sacrifice even when it accomplishes nothing. It's also telling that Bushnell had just severed connections with a Christian cult. This has nothing to do with respecting the dead and more to warn people not to fucking kill themselves. You can do so much good in your life and it's possible and worth it to live so you can feel happy.
I've also had many many friends kill themselves over the years, as is common for a trans "elder". I'm sick of seeing good people die to no benefit and I'm sick of seeing ideologies disseminated that justifies it.
Maybe there were other options, maybe there wasn’t I don’t know but if someone more knowledgeable knows something I’m all ears. Ultimately whatever ended up happening was going to change the course of their life forever and in the end they chose to end their life in service to the Palestinian people speaking about the injustice they face. It makes no sense to lambast them for it just because it might be in vain.
