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

"We support the current thing" my-hero

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

The current thing is genocide yea

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago

Based on what I've seen on social media all but the most mask off will make all sorts of bad faith claims an dance around when confronted about this. Usually it boils down to "the solution is for Hamas to surrender". Apparnetly doesn't matter that Israel was doing genocidal actions against Palestinians before Hamas's existance, or that they are doing them currently in the West Bank. Immaterial.

EVERY single photo of zionist demonstrations I've seen so far are made up EXCLUSIVELY of white people. I saw clips of zionist crowds in objectively diverse cities like London, NYC, Sao Paulo, Berlin: trying to spot a poc is like playing where's waldo (still haven't found him)

There was a zionist rally of around a hundred people in my city after the Oct 7th attacks. I live in a 53% non-white city in New England. So looking out my window and seeing a 100% white crowd marching downtown was pretty uncanny

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

God and that was right after the attacks too, where you could sort of forgive an uninformed person for being fooled.

Supporters of a cop state thanking the cops. lol. lmao. Lick boots, but don't fucking brag about it. Fuck offdata-laughing

Real "If what you were doing mattered, they'd make it illegal" hours

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago

They say "0 firecrackers shot at the police" as if it's a good thing

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago

0 calls for genocide at our "Oh god please continue to help Israel do a genocide, please give them more weapons and funding to obliterate every Palestinian off the face of the Earth" rally

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

150,000 pro-Palestine protestors, there were 29 arrests.

In the video I count maybe 200 pro-Israel protestors. Just with rounding they could be 20x more likely to be arrested and still wouldn't have a single arrest.

I've got no doubt the pro-Palestine lot are more likely to be arrested, but as we say in the scientific community, the population of genocide supporters, n, was insufficient to draw significant conclusions. To draw such a pitiful crowd in a population centre of over 2 million is pretty bad showing.

The police reported the ~~protesters~~ bootlickers thanked them for their service. It wasn't a protest, it was a rally for people who think killing arabs is cool

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

Number of nonces per square meters was the highest in the world though. There are trade offs.

Also, that was like... 100 people. So statistically, there would have been far fewer incidents. One would also reasonably expect fewer nonces per square meter but I'm sure that's not worth looking into.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Funnilythe number of nonces per square meter is always significant higher at protest sides because of the police. But yeah this particular boot licking event was an extreme outlier.

Low sign energy! Like I can barely make anything out. And it's all so inorganic and bland. They all look so inconvienced for being there.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

Their numbers are also fucking pathetic in comparison lmao. London had 150,000 for Palestine at a single point in time

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

what the hell are they protesting? their country is funding the genocide already

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The smugness of white people is almost worse than their bloodlust

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Either a complete lack of critical thinking ability or just shamelessly disingenuous. The result is the same.
