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

they take it as a given that we're supposed to want six kids to needlessly die just to satisfy our bloodlust and vengeance, truly diseased

[–] [email protected] 67 points 2 years ago

They also apparently take it as a given that we'd want to bomb our own mother?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Am I supposed to want to bomb my mom in this thought experiment?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

These people are disconnected from actually existing reality. Imagine defending the bombing of area that contain innocents in such a manner as this…entity chose to.

"i need you to kill all the children and also possibly my mother for revenge"

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 years ago

I would expect them to handle it in such a way as to not jeopardize the childrens lives, Liana. Wouldn't you?

So apparently the IDF are just Uvalde cops with an air force. Huh. Checks out.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Clearly the Uvdale cops should have just nuked the school!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

The IOF literally trains US cops, so yeah

Well, she's technically correct because by her worldview my reaction of "Please don't hurt the children or my mother" would qualify as a bad reaction, so I would not be taking it well.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Yeah, clearly this person isn't concerned that her mother is still alive and probably at the same location by her own scenarios outline... Just bomb the hideout :D

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

jokes on them i actually hate my father

edit: and mother

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Did she post this believing most people would actually think "yeah, we would have to bomb the house in that situation"?

Deranged.

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

They're really on a bender.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

guts-rage THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY TRANS CHILDREN IN GAZA AND YOU THINK ITS OK TO BOMB THEM. I WILL SKIN YOU

ok back to normal

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

lol what does that even mean? Would she want the house with her mom in it to be bombarded? Fucking psycho.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

I'd want you to negotiate to have her safely returned. Isn't that what everyone would want?

How can you not see that this just furthers the conflict??? No wonder America was losing the Vietnam war from the moment it started. And the war on terror And the war on drugs And the war on guns (lol I wish)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

If your 6 children were being held as shields in a house with the person that killed some people, you’d understand why I blew your kids up right?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Maybe I wouldn't, but that doesn't mean that society and the justice system are obligated to carry out my wishes.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

I try to remind myself that there are entire people behind these bad takes, with their personality flaws and lack of info and their struggling to make sense of things, because otherwise I get too mad

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jesus Christ she backslides so rapidly it creates a sonic boom lmao

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

She claims not to understand why asking this question while standing next to the smoking ruin of a house with 6 dead kids in it might make people leap to conclusions about her motivations for asking it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I would in fact not want to kill my mother and 6 kids just to also kill that dude

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

What new ghoulishness is this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Double comment, but this is an unfathomable level of Just Asking Questions https://nitter.net/redlianak/status/1720086447271932415#m
