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

This sucks dude. These libs got caught in this "Hamas must release the hostages" loop where they refuse to acknowledge Israel is keeping the entire population of Gaza hostage

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Or that they've killed 39 hostages through indiscriminant bombing. Clearly Israel doesn't give a fuck, but the libs sure love acting like they do.

Edited correct number.

Or that they've killed 50 hostages through indiscriminant bombing

Is that true?

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

No, zed pointed out the correct number

"humanitarian pause in bombing" is one of the weirdest fucking sentences/phrasings i've read in a long time. irl it's making my eye twitch

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Vaclav Havel literally called the attack on Yugoslavia "Humanitarian bombing", so "humanitarian pause in bombing" is relatively less ghoulish.

What the fuck is the point of a "pause" to get aid in only for people to be slaughtered? I'm sure Palistinians would be greatful to be erased from the earth on full stomachs. FFSpeppino-angry

Fat plump human targets are easier to hit them skeletal emaciated ones.

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

A humanitarian pause is urgently needed so Israelis soldiers can finally have their little tea break.

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

This is the liberal definition of harm reduction. Taking their foot off the gas pedal as they're running people over.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Maybe if the humanitarian aid includes comprehensive Air Defence?

Apparently humanitarian pause apparently does not mean no bombings or fewer bombings, it means Israel promises not to bomb pathways to where aid is being distributed temporarily =/

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And we all know what a promise from Israel is worth

[–] Orannis62@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They've already bombed "humanitarian corridors" this week lmao

You mean creating areas of high concentration of women and children for Israel to target? No thanks Bernard

Bernie somehow becoming more of a spineless worm the less of a political future he has left.

It really shows he was never hiding his power level or whatever cope any of us ever had. This is who he was the whole time and who he wanted to be

I hate that I donated what little money I had to his campaign. I hate that I spent time canvassing, phone banking, and advocating for him.

[–] StalinistApologist@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I threatened to before, but i just took the Bernie magnet off my truck. This wasn't the last straw or anything, but it's time. I need something to replace it.

[Translator's note] This is a grave condemnation in american culture, the removal of a candidate's logo from one's automobile is seen as the highest insult

who-did-this oh if only this darn bombing would stop. Has anyone seen the weather report?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

Let's pause the bombing and fix up all the stuff that broke so it's more fun to bomb it again later! Yay! Ceasefires are for losers and AMERICA DON'T LOSE

What happened in 2020 that turned Bernie from someone willing to push against the current (at least marginally) into a full-blown lapdog for the Democratic party & empire? Has anyone checked him for scratches?

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)
[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, how could I forget? Makes me wonder why there wasn't similar cheerleading for wars in the middle east from him between then and now. Perhaps the tried & true Democratic party method of knowing he could oppose without it shifting the needle?

Average liberal moment.

After all, it's not ackshually a total horrific humanitarian disaster if we stop for a day or two as a treat, right future historians? nerd

The people who will yell at Bernie for saying "ceasefire" are people the party establishment listens to.

The people who will yell at Bernie for saying "pause in bombing" aren't.

I can't say what really needs to happen but I'll settle for giving Palestinians their land back + the expulsion of all Israelis from the middle east

This smacks of naivité, like he believes they're going to do the right thing in the end. Fucking dumb.
