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

Gee, I wonder why Zionists have a hard time garnering sympathy from Western ethnic minorities and actual indigenous peoples.

That started out in an okay direction (comparing Gazans to other victims of colonialism) then took a hard right turn.

They had me in the first half

The massacre of October 7 was more like a Comanche raid than like the Holocaust or a pogrom, despite the relevance of the latter comparison to the Jewish people.

The Comanches, like the Gazans, were more savage and sadistic than the Nazis and Europeans.

[–] Landsharkgun@midwest.social 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My thoughts exactly.

The Comanche raids on Mexico started after some Mexican territorial officials put out bounties on the ears of Native Americans that they didn't like. In response, the Comanche ravaged Mexico as far south as Mexico City (as they should have). Not to say the Comanche were nice - there were plenty of other tribes they ruthlessly dominated.

Then in proud American military tradition they named a helicopter after them

You know, I really just need to set up a hotkey that automatically posts us-foreign-policy every time I see one of these

What Hamas did was far, far worse than killing people in gas chambers

zionists wiping their ass with the memory of the holocaust as usual

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Didn't Bibi literally blame the holocaust on Arabs a few years back?

EDIT: Yes

i'm going to pour napalm into my eyes

e: wait, no. his eyes

I’d argue comparing Israelis to European settlers and Palestinians to indigenous Americans is a pretty apt comparison, my guy.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I did not expect to see the savage and bloodthirsty native Americans trope in the wild in the year of our lord 2023. What's next, "Palestinians are like the Finnish, aggressive and carrying knives"?

_you don't get it, we were so scared of the sniper with iron sights we had to blow up 5 square blocks. How were we supposed to know he was on the other side _

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Never heard that one. I'm used to the stereotype on Finns being loner drunks. I suppose it's a better stereotype to put in a tourism book than stealing Sami lands.

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only finnish stereotype I know is spending all your time in saunas

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Sauna, vodka, doctor. And in that order, I believe.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

It is based on Swedish stereotypes of Finnish migrant workers from the 50s and 60s.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's about the Finnish and knives? Nowadays all i ever hear in the internet about them is how stronk and kool they are for killing some Soviet soldiers in the war.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's an old racist stereotype that nobody takes seriously any more. Allegedly the Finns carry knives on them and are quick to loose their temper and start stabbing people. The euros are not okay.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's weird, it's coming from the Germans? They have some weird obsession about people with knives.

[–] LeZero@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's probably coming from Sweden

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 11 months ago

Ah so that's just axe chauvinism.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

i will forever be awed by the right's ability to say correct things for 2/3rds of a post and then slip on a banana peel and fall off a cliff

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago

Then they turn around and get upset that native americans don't support isn'treal.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

lmfao it's always the Comanche, Apache, Sioux, and Aztecs with these people. Maybe the Caribs for the somewhat educated ones. They ignore the many hundreds of tribes that were nowhere near as brutal as the ones they hyperfocus on. The disgusting part is that the more peaceful ones are mocked for being too weak to defend themselves and the whites were merely "conquerers", but the ones that fought back are all brutal savages who deserved it anyway because they were already warmongering.

This is exactly how it is with Palestine. They like Palestine enough to feel sorry for them when they get brutalized but call for their heads the moment they fight back and casualties happen. It's all "this is war" when the Israelis kill someone and "nuke the savages" when Palestine kills civilians.

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you ever claim your opponents are "more sadistic than the nazis" I'm gonna have to call you on your bullshit and assume you're the bad guy lmao

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

at best they dont know wtf they're talking about and need a gulag or they do in which case they need the cuck pit barbara-pit

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

I'm gonna have to ask for an exception for Imperial Japan though.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm a white American and this makes me fucking cringe hard. I've even been considering the historical parallels between the Navajo and Gaza, and this sent it

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Somebody pointed out the existence of the Dirlewanger Battalion to this guy and now he's "well askcually"-ing SS atrocities.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Of course, the clean SS myth risen this year in Klanada and instantly the nazis jumped there.

[–] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Must absolutely suck to the few Baltic Jewish partisans still alive. Both the Baltic countries you fought tooth and nail to survive in and the "Jewish State" claiming to represent you whitewash the monsters who murdered your friends and family and forced you to be a "terrorist" just barely eking out an existence in the woods.

IIRC, Abba Kovner initially embraced Zionism post-war only to come to regret it later in life when he started linking the Holocaust to the Nakba in his writings. Something like this is just so on the nose in light of the fact.
