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

Claiming Gazans are brainwashed by Hamas while also saying West Germany was de-nazified by the Allies occupying it (minus USSR obv). Who is brainwashed again?

most gaza citizens have never known anything but this

That's why it's hard for me to not have sympathy for everyday Gazans; they're effectively brainwashed. Part of the deprogramming is day to day contact with Jews/Israelis—I think that's a major reason why the West Bank is more mellow.

LMAO just no context at all. Radicalized Gazans are the problem, those Palestinians that get 'day to day contact w Israelis' are 'more mellow'.

Brainwashing, of course, being the bullshit explanation Amerikkkan security goons came up with to explain why a small number of US soldiers surrendered to the Koreans during the war and were like "Hey we war crimes on orders from our superiors and we thought you should know".

day to day contact with Israelis

Yeah spending hours a day going through an onerous checkpoint with literal robot machine guns watching your every move is very calming.

Any peace starts with the elimination of Hamas. After that, maybe Gaza should have IDF presence until an 18-year-old Gazan doesn’t remember them at all.

Any peace starts with the elimination of NATO. After that, maybe the north atlantic should have BRICS presence until an 18-year old caucasoid doesn't remember them at all.

It's r/neoliberal. What you're asking for isn't possible.
