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

sounds like you arent cynical enough. I can fix that ;) Lets go to the source of Rnai's excellent post:

to be clear, not really arguing with you ( i say this cuz a bunch of linked quotes often seems debate-pervy) laugh along with me! laugh i say!

CW: straight bullshit

Let's take a few more snippets from this turd for those who don't want to give them a click:

What’s more, while app algorithms are challenging to pin down, Jewish daters say that their matches have gone down since the war started and they think it’s got something to do with the “Jew” stamp on their profile.

“I don’t have a problem with the Palestinian flag – people can share whatever flag they like, but the people who post ‘no Zionists’ are basically saying ‘no Jews’. It’s what they think is an acceptable way of saying it,” he adds.

They're getting warmer now, doing that conflation bullshit. wonder how far they'll take it?

“Before the war, I said on Hinge that I was liberal and interested in politics, (lol) but I’ve taken that off now,” says Hannah.

“I’m hiding that aspect of myself because all the other girls on there who are into politics seem to hate Jews.

“It’s frustrating,” she says, “because I want to meet people who I can talk to about the world.

“But if they’re saying ‘no Zionists’ that doesn’t leave much room for me.”

HERE WE GO! 'no Zionists' is hatred of jews!

There’s always been pressure on Jews to meet each other – it’s one of the factors behind programmes such as Birth Right – but for many, it was not until October 7 and the subsequent hike in antisemitism that matching with a Jew felt necessary.

Jacob says: “I didn’t care before, but now I’ll make a bit more effort to try and find someone Jewish.”

Like Zack, however, he has encountered anti-Zionist Jews.

Now, towards the bottom, they use the terms interchangeably within a few sentences.

So its par for the course at the old conflation station or a subtle shift away from using antisemitism at all.
