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

It was the sign that taught the child hatred, and not the zionists mass-killing all those Palestinians after having treated them like shit for decades (some of which may be the kid's direct relatives).

I will celebrate October 7th this year and every year until my death.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You'd think Americans would maybe understand that a bit better since their past 5 wars have all resulted in them taking Ls and orphaning kids while doing nothing else besides making MIC contractors a lot of money

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 years ago

We don't get we caused so many refugees/immigrants are coming here because we destabilized their countries. Of course they won't reflect enough to understand :(

I read the comments. October 7th was justified and should happen every day until Palestine is free.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So they frame pro-Palestine protests as pro-Hamas now? What weaselly little cowards.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 59 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now? No, they've been doing it since day one.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

God damn it. Here I thought it wasn't common.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It is their only rhetorical strategy, they have nothing else

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"The protests are Hamas"

"The aid trucks are Hamas"

"These children were Hamas"

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 years ago

Forgot UN is hamas

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They have one other, even more common rhetorical strategy: call anything they don't like antisemitic.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

being antisemitic is Hamas tho, its already covered in strategy 1

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha I'm kinda shocked, I feel like there are hundreds of Hexbear posts about it and you seem to be a fellow Terminally Online.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess I kind of fell off on reading news about Gaza and the protests for a while.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

That's fair. I can't watch those videos, it's too much. I know it's a privileged choice but no one should have to see that shit anyway. But, yeah, I feel you. I also have a lot going on so Gaza just gets me way down, I try to strike a balance.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 48 points 2 years ago

I read em. All of em. All I can say is

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't call them nazis? What historical comparisons should we use, then? White Americans?

I just need the sanctions lifted so Putin can send me my rubles.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago

They're legit getting more conspiracy brained than the CHUDs at this point. Just full on insisting reality is Russia/China troll farms.

[–] egg1918@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They’ve fallen for a strong Russo-Iranian social media PR campaign. Genocide Joe etc. were coined on Russian troll sites that mimicked US News sites, for example.

So we're a Russo-Iranian now? I'm gonna have to hit up Xi and tell him to stop sending me so many Xi-Bucks

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Average Hexbear user covered in sponsorship patches like a NASCAR driver.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

it is tragic that kids are raised into Zionism

[–] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

These people are not against genocide. They're just mad that more Jews are not dying.

heyooooooooooooooo

heyoo heyoo heyoo

hey

shalom

Question:

Which side is the one supporting a state that has a statue to a guy who said ‘an excellent idea enters my mind —  to attract outright antisemites and make them destroyers of Jewish wealth’?

Eh?

that’s right

you

zip it

hahahahahaha
