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

october 7th didn't fall from the coconut tree you motherfucker, it existed in the context of decades of brutal suppression and killing

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No history began on that exact date. Just like the history in ukraine only happened the moment russian troops entered.

Why if somehow looked too far back they might come to the conclusion that actually the west are the bad guys.

It was 75 years into the genocide.

"Hey you know that mass killing I'm doing that you're upset about? Well let me remind you of a mass killing at least 33 times smaller that I'm using to justify it!"

Masterful political instincts

And even though it's twenty standard deviations from the Overton window: let's be reminded that the IOF killed half of them in their hysterical fury at being retaliated against

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

with ~1000 vehicles totally burned out hellfire-missile style trying to return to gaza and the IOF firing tank shells into houses with hostages I think it was more than half

It would be nice for someone to lift a finger to find out, but obviously that will never happen

Is about the best we'll get until the entity collapses and someone can look close

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

iirc the entity at first made a "car cemetery" out of them until the questions about how Hamas did all that damage with RPGs and AK-47s became inconvenient so they cut up the cars and buried them in the desert

The Dems are masterful failures.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Can’t wait in 2028 where democrats insist on literally bowing in worship to both republicans and white men so as “not to alienate ordinary Americans.”

They gotta do it, it's the only way to pass progressive policy! pete

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

It's just like, they yell at us constantly and then they anoint someone who gets up in front of the world and says shit like this. There's nothing we could possibly do to them that's worse than what they do to themselves.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes all those brown people dying is tragic but can we please focus on the white people dying? That's the real tragedy jokermala

Genuinely Jaw dropping. I just went and watched the video because I couldn't believe it, but its just as bad as its implied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC2-fJw4SBg, about 4 mins in if you want to hear it for yourself.

I was already prepared to vote green but I'm stunned how little they're even trying to make me have cold feet about it. I don't fucking understand it...why don't they just fucking lie like they do about everything else?!??

"Not only fuck Palestinians, but also aren't you all so excited for my collab with notable Republican war criminal Liz Cheney?"

also aren't you all so excited for my collab with notable Republican war criminal Liz Cheney?

we even got her even eviler father on our side. Isn't that so cool???

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

they can't lie, because the zionists demand complete obedience. All public statements have to be completely supporting them or they freak the fuck out.

Look at how Israel acts when a non-binding resolution passes in the UN that condemns them but doesn't actually do anything about it. They act like it's another holocaust

Literally "history began on October 7th, 2024." Also wouldn't be surprised if she threw a contradictory "It's a thousand year conflict, it's very nuanced."

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

Maybe before the No-No day. Since then they are just straight up talking about their interests. So "the barbarians have been fighting for 3 trillion years" was replaced with "that region has always been difficult."

this is the most important election of our lives

no why would we the ones running try to win, just vote for us or get the orange one who will do the same just louder

[–] [email protected] 35 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not as important as continuing genocide, mind you. Good priorities, will vote again

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago

but we will totally legalize weed this time for black Pell Grant recipients

I can't believe the person who got obliterated in an actual primary race because she is a smug moron is continuing to be a smug moron

oh wait

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I knew she was terrible at campaigning already but I'm utterly baffled by that response.

Not that she believes it; that she said it. Forced error. susie-baffled

Democrats grow a spine and stop playing into the myth that white men are the only voices that matter challenge (impossible).

Zionist donations are worth more than votes, I guess.
