Let me illustrate the dynamic to you so you can step outside your own personally constructed logic labyrinth:

  1. The US views some country as an enemy for whatever reason, so attacks it either directly or through proxy or sanctions
  2. The US ruling class cares about the perception of their legitimacy, so they have to sell this action to most segments of US society
  3. The messaging targeted at liberals focuses on things liberals care about that the targeted country is bad at, like gay rights
  4. The targeted country takes this messaging and uses it domestically to sell additional crackdowns on gay rights as anti-imperialism
  5. This crackdown is used to justify further action against the country by credulous liberals like yourself
  6. The only people who get screwed are the gays, being faced with the twin joys of a domestic crackdown and US bombs/sanctions/whatever

At no point in the liberal mind is it considered that the US ruling class does not give one single tiny shit about the rights of gay people in targeted country, or even proxy country. It is purely and entirely bait to get them to support bombing things. One doesn’t have to go too far back in history, if at all, in the US to find actions against gay people that, if they’d taken place in the targeted country, would be used to justify liberal support for bombing the place.

Create post

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
