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

Q: do you ever feel like you could be seen as an actual target?

A: Thank you for this question, which of course brings to mind the horrifying killing of our colleague Issam Abdallah by an Israeli tank shell

immediate comment: Almost every single response references Israel even when they aren't mentioned in the initial comment. Biased as all heck.

How fucking heartless. There is tone-deaf and then there's this.

Also a lot of countries pulled their UNRWA funding over it too. That is a lot of credible people in agreement that the accusations do stand up.

I should just stop reading reddit. Not good for me.

  • “There is no evidence Israel did that thing they bragged about doing”

  • “How dare you ask for proof. You must believe state propagandists at face value.”

famously unbiased web zone: reddit comments

Especially in current worldnews

Also, like... Israel is mentioned in that question, albiet not directly. Who but Israel might suddenly see this reporter as a target?

Israel-Hamas War

Immediate red flag right here. Anyone not calling this the "ongoing Gazan genocide" or similar needs to be redacted.

edit: despite the reporter being really lib, god damn the people asking questions in the thread are so, so much worse.

Guy, did you know that Hamas is EVIL INCARNATE!? Istg redditors are the most braindead motherfuckers on the planet. Assuming they aren't bots or hasbara ofc

The whole concept of unbiased reporting in this conflict is ridiculous. It's like being a reporter in Nazi Germany and reporting that the allies killed some villagers in an offensive, You'd literally be reporting a viewpoint to be "balanced" towards the Nazis, for literally evil.

Well at least there's one good take in this fucking cesspool, maybe things ...

Hamas is evil.

Well, guess I should have seen that one coming

Reuters is the most US intelligence-friendly rag, lol
