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

The thought of being remembered for something so bland and boring is weirdly scary to me. Maybe Felix was on to something when he talked about how settler-colonialism hollows out your soul and kills any culture, creativity or national identity you might've otherwise had. thinky-felix

Dying from blood loss after a mortar shell I tried to fire at a pre-school hit a lamp post instead and blew off my leg: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift... that's why they call it present"

Having seen Israeli attempts at humor, I believe this 100000%

Why did the Palestinian cross the road?

spoilerHe's not allowed to walk on that road because he's living under apartheid and he needs to take a detour to buy bread for his children.

The amount of times the "Ramirez, defend Burger Town!" scene has been unintentionally and un-ironically re-enacted by western militaries in the last 20 or so years really speaks to this I think.

edit:also found this when looking at the names of burger places in Israel, they really are that uninspired lol

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

Ramirez, defend Burger Town!

TIL about this. Being a writer for COD has got to be one of least dignified jobs in the gaming industry.

Live life to the fullest by denying an entire people the right to live! Laugh about slaying innocent children! Love doing a genocide!

I don't even believe it. Hasbara lie all the fucking tkme it is extremely conceivable that they made this whole thing up.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Alternatively, they have all their soldiers write a death-message to use as propaganda in the rare event that one of them dies.

Spoken like a beauty pageant winner. Or one of those wooden plaques you find at the dollar store to put in an unfurnished house.

I guess when you're 20 or so and all you've done your whole life was support war crimes in an ethno state, you probably have the philosophy critical skills of a dollar store plaque. Just as religion intended.

As people are accurately diagnosing Israeli society as demonic and without redemptive qualities, and as they rightly wish harm on this settler, I can't help but think about how mad people here got when I said I don't care about the suffering of Americans.

Can someone explain the difference? Because it seems to me it's the classic cop/soldier distinction you see among RadLibs: they can imagine themselves being harassed and harmed by cops (in which case it's ACAB city) but are far more likely to be or know soldiers than suffer harm at their hands, so suddenly a situation that merited slogans and denunciations seconds ago deserves nuance.

People--again, rightly--point out that there are no innocent Israelis and that settlers are inherently combatants. Why doesn't this apply to the far more more murderous United States? Its foundation is even more explicitly genocidal, it has killed orders of magnitude more people, and all of its atrocities receive widespread support.

So why is the treatment so different? Is it because Israelis are faceless nobodies on the other side of the Earth, and you and everyone you care about are Americans? Is it because your state has been unimaginably more successful at its campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing, so unlike Israelis, you don't have to think about the fact that you're a settler and thus create ideological justifications for your existence?

To be clear: I'm not saying that people here don't hate the US. People here hate the US, but they hate Israelis. Why are Israelis painted as monsters complicit in their government's actions while Americans are poor little victims whomst bear no responsibility for the most murderous state on Earth?

If this doesn't apply to you: great! The next time someone tearfully says that no one should listen to me because I'm a big old meanie head toward history's most perfect angels, Americans, please join me in thinking about how much everyone hates Israelis both individually and collectively (and again: they should! This is not a defense of Israelis) and roll your eyes.

"Ten degrees to the left of center in the best of times; ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally."

Edit: to be clear, I'm talking about Euro-Americans. The material base of American society is the exploitation of everyone on Earth for the benefit of Europeans. The bottom strata of American society are almost entirely racialized, and non-white people generally experience drastically different circumstances than the parasitic European majority.

They talk about how hard it is to sleep in Gaza because of the constant buzzing of the drones, but one thing nobody mentions is the nonstop combat music.

Wife works in an American office of an Israeli company. One of the co-workers was laughing and showing a coworker videos of the the IOF playing loud music to keep Gazan civilians without rest.

Okay but if she drank pumpkin spice lattes this forum would go into full time apologist mode.
