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

Med tech wearing a keffiyeh in the hospital : Jewish
Holy shit, that whole sub... that's just sad.
I did a bit of research on Judaism to reconcile with zionism/anti-semitism and all that, and I saw how different it is from zionism, and that zionism is actually more anti-semitic than being anti-zionist etc.
But imagine if you knew nothing about it, and then went on r/Jewish. You would be getting the WRONG impression for sure.
Looked against my better judgement, you weren't kidding. These
ers are completely buying into the antisemitic lies equating the genocidal fascist state of Israel with Judaism as a whole.
It's a shame. Judaism actually has a lot of really cool attitudes and lessons to it, at least, some interpretations. It's such an old religion that it can't be described as a monoloth any more than Islam can. I think it's really important for the Left to hold onto this fact and defend our Jewish comrades who are bravely going against the grain in their communities.
It’s likely that subreddit is astroturfed just like the rest of Reddit, if not harder
Probably.
fucking awful comments, holy shit
Looking at zionists and it's like "holy shit, are you trying to make people become antisemitic?" If I believed everything said by zionists about Judaism, that would mean I was antisemitic.
That is one of the most cursed threads I've read in a while, holy shit
I did, for a split second, read that as "Mech wearing a keffiyeh" and that's now something I need to make a sketch of.
edit: nvm I shoulda known RetroGrade Minis would have it
Never seen this before. Cool site.
Ansarallah would do this
Wish we could get a DOJ-Liberator team down here to supply Hamas with an ANDROMEDA-Pattern Heavy Laser Cannon.
the gliders coulda used a LGC-04 APOCALYPSE RAIL or two for some extra oomph yknow
Btw, do NOT read Gaza genocide discussions on Pilot Net, just a hive of "it's nuanced" radlib genocide minimizers.
aww fuckin...cmon, the game is a full throated endorsement of communism and the creator is based as hell, libs shouldn't be allowed in!
...though I haven't heard Abaddon/Tom Bloom's opinions on Palestine, I suppose I just assumed he'd come out on the side of liberation considering all his other espoused views and his fiction...
They're nominally anti-genocide but in a very "neither Washington nor Tehran" way
Pilot Net, idk about Abaddon, kind of don't want to know
K6BD did just have this mega based exchange... There are a lot of libs in both fanbases so I'm just going to continue assuming Abaddon is cool lol.
cropped k6bd spoiler sorta
Hell yeah, new post. Right in the comments though
Fan base is not as cool as it could be.
EDIT: this page is rad as hell though, love White Chain.
I'm assuming everything with a hint of support is getting deleted/banned
Thanks for posting so i could weaponize my anger, but it looks like their mod is genociding all the good comments already
Work. Is. Political.
Reading the comments there sure was a hell of a peek into the brains of these people. They genuinely say that everyone pro Palestine is a terrorist. I will admit that I haven't bothered to look at comments on Reddit, but it's pretty unsettling to read tbh.
If Israel and Hezbollah go to war - people will see suffering and death in Israel but also in Lebanon. Sadly the coverage of Israel will probably be at least ~5x as great. But there will be blood on the streets in Lebanon. I worry that some people will use the opportunity to start to use "they" and "them" when referring to anybody Lebanon. In other words "They shoot missiles into Israel so - yeah - some of them are going to die. That's how war works. Don't want to be attacked? Don't attack." The same 'logic' will be openly used for the genocide in Gaza. And this vile "They're getting what they deserve" logic will start to go mainstream and even be used on networks like MSNBC that are usually careful to not be ghoulish by saying the quiet part out loud.
I fucking hate how r*dditors write
My favorite is the "Look,..." that they use before they lecture me like I'm a kid. The word is them patting me on the head before they explain the complexities of the adult world to my tiny brain.
Stormfronters for whatever reason tries way too hard to sound like they're fucking politicians.
