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

I can imagine the smugness of the caricature maker the "ho hon hon zhese mussulmen sont trés stoupide! pour-qoui zey dont eat en le Ramadan! leur religion!"

Especially because I'm fairly sure fasting can be suspended in times of crisis, like y'know

A genocidal famine

Muhammad was like "bro, you can eat, you need your strength" when his troops were at war.

...not that this publication requires any counter-argument beyond PPB

What I've understood from volunteering with muslim kids internationally is that fasting can be suspended for basically any reason as long as you apologise. Like, Allah gets it, he's not going to be mad that you actually need to eat, just make sure to say sorry.
