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

That's uncomfortably vaguely familiar.
Unfortunately, it is not the only example. While some Jews (especially Herzlians) do internalize harmful stereotypes, it is rare for them to arrive at the extreme end of the spectrum. Andrew Auernheimer, Daniel Burros, Frank Collin, and Patrol 36 are a few instances representing this extreme: they willingly promoted hatred of (other) Jews in spite of their genealogic links to them.
It is easy to laugh at these types for their obvious hypocrisy, but they should not be underestimated. Anton Arco‐Valley, for byspel, gained the respect of antisemitic gentiles (including Joseph Goebbels) by murdering a Jewish politician. The NYT quoted Hans Priwin, a member of the executive committee of the Association of German National Jews, to downplay antisemitism in the Third Reich. Reinhard Heydrich had some Jewish ancestry. I could go on. Pro‐Axis Jews are rare, but they can be no less dangerous than pro‐Axis gentiles.
By the way, it is interesting to compare how the Herzlian régime treated Patrol 36 to how it treats, say, Palestinian children. The Herzlians treated Patrol 36 with far more dignity than they treat even the youngest Palestinians.
I don't laugh because my formative years were surrounded by people whose ancestors were death camp targets and their open bigotry was never funny to me, not even in its hypocrisy.
