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

No I won't explain how it's nuanced. You tankies thinking people being free is "good" is the real crime.

The Israeli settler colonial project is taking what little land Palestinians have left and have treated Palestinians as sub-human. But this situation is far too nuanced for a bunch of red fash to understandsmuglord

I love that for liberals the term “nuance” is a catch-all term to end any discussion instead of a point for further elaboration, discussion or even to recommend further reading.

Gonna pull my good 'ol Chomper card

"The last paradox is that the tale of Palestine from the beginning until today is a simple story of colonialism and dispossession, yet the world treats it as a multifaceted and complex story—hard to understand and even harder to solve."

[W]hat sort of hate speech was happening there?

I imagine [...]

Lmao wtf does "nominally" supportive of Palestine even mean

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago

just a casual accusation of cryptofascism. 'they only pretend to be supportive of palestine to launder their antisemitism'

famously cryptofascist and antisemitic ideology, marxism-leninism

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Nuance claiming and 'its very complex' are ALWAYS weasel words for 'i have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about, but want to seem smart'.

it's a nuanced and complex situation

But there's no nuance or complexity in, like it or not, Palestinians reacting in anger against the occupying force, got it.

Only Israel is bombing UN schools and hospitals.

Well it is nuanced you see we want to be able to openly call for genocide against brown people while also being seen as the good guy.

Emphasizing the "stein" in an antisemitic way like with Epstein

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a version of the Berenstain Bears for parents who thought brown bears were too ethnic.

Antisemitic hate speech then:

  • Blood libel
  • Protocols of the elders of Zion
  • Race "science"

Antisemitic hate speech now:

  • Jews are fine but don't build a Jew-themed fascist settler colony on other people's land

Fascism is when you don't like rent seeking, and the more rent seeking you don't like the more fascist it is.

JFC we have a long way to go to lead these poor souls out of the darkness of Plato's cave and in to the light of the Immortal Science.

fascists through and through

Why do 30 year old American liberal dudes all talk like 70 year old British ladies?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Reddit taught them that posh smug Britishisms sounded prestigious and smart.

Fascism is when you hate landlords, I am very smart and should be taken seriously smuglord

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

"sure they don't like landlords"---this literally disqualifies fascism. you can't be a fascist and against landlords

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

on stage at the fascism convention turning up a big dial that says anti landlord action
