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

If you actually bother looking up the Qatari donations to US universities you can find out that they seem to be funding those universities operating remote (mostly medical) schools BACK IN QATAR. I guess that's just not as exciting as pretending Blood Libel 101 is now mandatory to get a liberal arts degree

Oh wow, evil Hamas tricking us into opposing oppression

The worldnews subreddit is the single most propagandized instance I have ever seen online or in real life.

They had a top voted post about how hezzbollah was criticizing hamas for their lavish lifestyle. Literally trying to get a petty slap fight going based on op Ed's by people who have been calling for unrestricted murder for 4 decades.

CPAC 2002 wasn't this ready to invent a narrative to start a war.

Palestinians are the new Jews apparently. pooh-wtf

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

So they admit they're oppressing the Palestinians?

Trying to again conflate critique of Zionism and the apartied enthno-state of Israel with anti semitism isn't sticking. You have Jews front and center in these Palestine marches. You had hundreds of Jews sit congress to protest for a ceasefire.

As much as they try to conflate social justice with "Hamas" they can't hide Israel's well documented wrong doing with anti-semitism.

They can try to attack the universities (wait until they hear about foriegn investment in corporate America) but I think it's going to backfire. They want to play foriegn influence - look at congress. Look at how much they simp to Zionist bribers. FEC.GOV go see the major briber and who are Zionists. Sheldon Addelson was a major one before he croaked. His wife Mariam carries it on. Foreign companies or companies with major shareholders who are Zionists or have foriegn ties.

Schumer had a bunch of Jews - descendants of the Holocaust - protest his house. Going to blame Qatar on that too?

66% of the nation wants a ceasefire - a majority of both camps and a super majority of the ruling party.

Israel has completely fucked their PR for generations with this genocidal move. People are awake. If they start hearing Zionsist loyalties, it will hurt them in elections. Look at what's gone with Joe Biden. Genocide Joe is sticking.

The Republican Debate was who kisses Israel's ass the most. Real fucking American.

Keep calling people racists or traiators for standing against wholesale genocide. Don't think you are going to put this back in the back,

I tried to google both The United Association for Studies and Research and its supposed founder, Mousa Abu Marzook. Now I don't know whether search engines are just literally incapable of finding things these days or what, but literally every result was some scare-mongering site about, like, "extremism" or "the islamic brotherhood" or "hamas networks operating in the US" or some such bullshit. You'd think if the UASR exists that they'd have a website or something I could find, but they sure don't seem to.

It pisses me off when people make comments on the internet with this much certainty, but I can't seem to verify even the very existence of the thing they're talking about. Mousa Abu Marzook appears to be a real person, a high-level hamas official, even, but beyond that, I just don't know how to find any info on this supposed "far-left academic think tank". It legitimately doesn't seem to exist, except to be referenced by "reports" on "extremism".

Ugghh, the internet has been pissing me off recently, I think I need to logout

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

The United Association for Studies and Research sounds so Vincent Adultman.

Admins, would it be possible to make logout functional?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't even know how to search effectively anymore because of this bullshit, like trying to find any news info about Israeli violence before this year is impossible right now through search engines, hundreds of articles just talking about the current conflict and justifying genocide etc. You can't hardly even 'google it' to get to any concrete info about a situation.

"Cultural Marxism" but even dumber

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait for them to call this "cultural Islamism" or some other nonsense

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

Would not surprise me at all

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not smart enough to understand what they're getting at. Hamas reaching out to potential international allies is antisemitic? Qatar exists? I really don't get it, but whatever it is, it sounds like a big deal.

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

They're arguing that liberal arts programs are a result of Hamas funding and produce "far leftists" that will do antisemitism by denouncing the oppression of Hamas

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If that's a problem wait until they hear about the Israel lobby!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No, thats antisemitic conspiracy, no jew would be stupid enough to do that. Arent lobbies a form of corruption, and control of gov outside democratic ways? Wouldnt that give legitimacy to the jewish kabal conspiracy theory?

Jokes aside, im worried by the media conflating judaism and zionism. Im worried it will spark a new wave of old style antisemitism. I mean, in the event where westerners will have to make sense of the genocide. Or are we too islamophobic to get second thoughts?

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

It absolutely will give cover and rise to actual antisemitism, but Zionists don't give a shit, it's a feature not a bug for them.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"United Association for Studies and Research" is the most flagrantly generic name I've seen in a long time

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Silly Hamas, to blend in with the other American think tanks you need to call it something like the "Freedom of American Independence and Liberty Society for Opportunity and National Studies" (FAILSONS)

deceive the american public into supporting them by appealing to the american left's denouncement of oppression

This is just True Allegiance again

What surgical operation lmao, being inevitably crushed and then enduring an ethnic cleansing from their racist murderous occupiers?

What world are these people living in

These dipshits don't realise both Israel and the US supported, funded and armed Hamas back then. Because they wanted them splitting the resistance movement and fighting the communists.

Is this the anti-Islam version of the whole "the USSR is still brainwashing the youth with University infiltration" talking points conservatives drone on about?
