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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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
This guy represents one of the poorest districts in the country and spends 90% of his waking hours tweeting about "antisemetic" college students and what not, almost a parody of what people think of as a corrupt US politician.
If Y'all can critically support Asad and Putin y'all damn well better critically support Hasan. This an attempt to silence someone who supports palestine by conflating anti semitism and Zionism. It doesnt matter who it is, it just matters that Zionists dont have control over social platforms.
There’s a difference between “it’s bad that zionists are weaponising antisemitism to silence people” and “the gaming streamer is the best hope for the spread of socialism, and the most important voice on earth about the Palestinian issue, we must stan”
"assad is the best hope for the spread of socialism, and the most important voice on earth about building a socialist world, we must stan."
Literally who is saying that, I’m not sure if you’re supposed to be mocking me, doing a bit, being serious.. Maybe I’m just too dumb to understand this epic own. If only there was a streamer to explain it to me.
The reason you're saying we shouldn't critically support Hasan apply just as easily to some of the people Hexbear does support. My comment wasn't saying, "Hasan is good actually," only that the same logic that leads us to critically support Russia and Syria leads us to support Hasan.
I took your comment directed to Hasan and applied it to Assad, then posted emojis to show the site's implied endorsement of him.
Another part of your comment was that Hasan just isn't that important, just a streamer ect. But, in the current world he is functionally a journalist that reaches millions of people. Regardless, importance determines stakes, not position. Even if this situation is relatively petty, which is very arguable, the position we should take, critical support, is clear to me.
The fact I’m now receiving arguments drawing equivalence between nation-states and twitch streamers behooves me to say 
This is a really embarrassing dismissal of a comrade who is trying sincerely to get through to you. Be better.
they said "critically support", not "act as if he is the second coming of Lenin himself"
