Do we brigade any more? The comments section is horrible.

Here’s the top comment.

Funny how no one mentions that Egypt (an Arab nation) also has an Iron Curtain style border with Gaza, yet they don’t get shit when people are talking about the Gaza blockade.

Link but CW Reddit:

The person who wrote this never spoke or hanged out with pro-Palestinian people like ever lmao, that person just imagined a scenario and decided to make it reality.

Yes yes we know Egypt has a border with Gaza and that border has a huge fence and they're not allowed to cross it. But are they also aware that Egypt is nothing but another US vassal? That Egypt is being ruled by a comprador regime that is friendly to "Israel"? Destroy what links the Egyptian regime with the US and "Israel" and you will see that blockade end in a second.

Not sure where that person is trying to go, countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States get a lot of shit for either directly supporting the genocide or not doing anything about it (Oil embargo? Hello?) Perhaps this person is actually a pan-arabist who's incredibly mad because an Arab nation is not doing internationalism to help their brothers in need, but I don't think this is the case...

its all Hasbara. Even liberals aren't this unhinged.

Have you met liberals? You can never overestimate the bloodlust and unearned sense of superiority of the average imperial core citizen.

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago

yes but i think american liberals especially now say vote for Brandon regardless of the massacre in Gaza. post oct 7 sure they were screaming for blood

unearned sense of superiority of the average imperial core citizen

the worst are probably the anglo islanders, they're so hysterically self-important even though their shithole island is (increasingly) miserable and irrelevant

For real, the former empire syndrome is fucking horrible. Applies to Spain and France quite nicely too for example

Of all the former euro empires spain's imperial decline has been the longest, hardest and most embarrassing, surely they would've learnt some humility by now lmao

OP in this case seems very pro Palestine if you look at their post history. Comments are indefensible

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago

Why did I click through and read the comments? That was a mistake.

[-] TimeTravel_0@hexbear.net 40 points 8 months ago

Reading Reddit comments is a form of self harm

[-] Commiejones@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago

Every time I click a reddit link its dead-dove-2 dead-dove-3

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago

At this point I read that auto-generated "a reddit link was detected in your posts" the same way I would read "a tumor was found in your x-ray".

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago

You can see someone recommend the blowback in the comments

Oh fuck this genocide is so hot I gotta jack off to it

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

I'd like to say that's some actual Nazi shit, but as an American who is involuntarily funding their oppression, I don't want to come off as chauvinistic or paternal for not respecting Palestinian's Arabness and having some faith in the occupied territories for liberating themselves in their own time frame.

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
