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 [email protected]

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

Why is everyone misunderstanding this tweet?

It strikes me as obvious satire. The person is saying that it's obvious if third parties with no skin in the game can clearly see that one side, like Israel, is wrong because of their brutal oppression and killing then it should be self-evident that side is the bad guy. It's worded in such a silly way as to indicate it's nature as well.

EDIT: Well, I don't have a twitter account so I can't see any of the replies where they defend their shitty ideas so I stand corrected.

Because it's not satire

If you follow the link, he goes deep into "Hamas wants to kill Jews" and "Fighting over ancient land is stupid, so we should just let Israel have it"

there are Palestinians alive right now who had their houses stolen from them at gunpoint by people who are also alive right now and I would like to undo the crime as best as possible, ancient land has nothing to do with it

Exactly, he's showing his entire ass

Absolutely ignorant of everything

Ah, okay. Well then. I stand corrected because on it's own it seems very much like satire to me but then if they are defending it the other way that settles it.

Sucks hard.

Also, I don't have a twitter account so I can't see any replies or anything. The site is unusable without one and I will not be creating one.

No worries friend

It can be hard to tell sometimes, Poe's Law and all that

You could always use Nitter to see stuff without an account but it's still probably not worth it lol

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

if it's satire they are deeply committed to the bit as they keep posting through it

I see. Really sucks, then.
