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

This community is becoming /r/conspiracy. Calling out someone for obviously ignoring the genocide is one thing. Trying to paint someone who acknowledges that there are competing propaganda efforts as bad because they don’t black and white pick a side, is how you get the next QAnon.

It was very obviously israel that struck the hospital, to even entertain the idea that it wasnt is pure racism,

https://nitter.net/evanhill/status/1714366113818038412 Read the thread, watch the video

Palestine does not have such large munitions, otherwise tel aviv would be a smoldering pile of rubble

By pretending this wasnt definitly israel you ARE "ignoring the genocide" a genocide isnt a magic word that dissapears a people, a genocide is a concrete set of actions composed of slaughtering civilians. THIS IS THE FORM WHICH THE GENOCIDE IS TAKING

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That thread is itself inconclusive. A video with a whirring then an explosion doesn’t confirm where it came from. The blast crater is inconsistent with an Israeli air strike, which doesn’t mean it wasn’t from one. No-one has been able to independently examine the damage and even the number of casualties is disputed.

There is not enough proof to say who is responsible for this incident. That doesn’t mean Israel isn’t hell bent on the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Yes. A very reputable source.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 11 months ago (1 children)

and what is your source? CNN? Fox News?

The article is only describing facts. Here have another one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mate you’re missing the point. You might trust these sources, but to me they have absolutely no reputation. You may as well post a video of the drunken ramblings of your local homeless guy.

Anyway I was initially responding to a link to a thread from a Washington Post journalist, have seen the Al Jazira video analysis. It’s all inconclusive.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What has a reputation to you then? Seems to me like you're willing to dismiss the perspective of non-Zionist Jews entirely with a single remark.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Here’s a news website https://truecrimenewsweekly.com/ that’s main concern is Australian Politics do you trust it?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago

This is obviously a deflection and I don't know anything about Australian politics, but glancing through the site they seem surprisingly based.

https://www.channel4.com/news/who-was-behind-the-gaza-hospital-blast-visual-investigation

even certain western outlets are saying more investigation is needed to determine considering how much Israeli state lies.

Wikipedia's 'NPOV' is a bullshit concept. There is no such thing.

"Earth could be spherical or it could be flat, no one knows"

"Most people believe Holocaust happened but there are some deniers"

"Some people believe COVID vaccines contain microchips, though this is disputed."

All these could be considered neutral statements but if one were to see it an actual article they would think its ridiculous because Earth being spherical(ish) is the reality, Holocaust did happen and COVID vaccines do not contain microchips. Why should bullshit "theories" be entertained?

Also Gaza doesn't even have power or water right now, what 'propaganda' effort do you think Hamas or PIJ is doing compared to a state funded and propped up by a superpower

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

The earth is provably not flat. The Holocaust provably happened. Covid vaccine’s provably don’t contain microchips. No-one has yet proved who was responsible for the explosion at Al Alhi Hospital and that’s the difference.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

The Holocaust provably happened.

The Holocaust definitely happened.

No-one has yet proved who was responsible for the explosion at Al Alhi Hospital and that’s the difference.

"Israel" probably dropped that bomb and killed all those people in that hospital. It's frankly insulting that you people expect us to believe that rockets made like this have the explosive yield to kill hundreds of people with just a misfire landing, yet Tel Aviv doesn't look like the surface of the moon after all these years.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

The Holocaust definitely happened.

He wrote provably, not probably, as in has been proven to be true so he was saying the same thing unless that was a typo

Aside from that, fuck that genocide supporter

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

They originally said 'probably', then edited to 'provably' after being called out, and blamed spellcheck.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

lmao I swap b an v so much I provably read that as 'probably' either way fuck that individual

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Why do you say that the holocaust merely "probably" happened if you are secure in saying that the absence of microchips in covid vaccines is proven fact?

Elaborate on the uncertainties surrounding if the holocaust happened or not, please, we're all very interested in what makes you use such soft language when referring to it.

Edit: Sure, blame the spellcheck, hitlerite.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It was simply the svellcheck, why are you so worked up cryptofascist

[–] [email protected] 45 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This you? You clearly already thought we've lost the plot, so have wandered in to stir the pot, if you'll excuse the mixed metaphors.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (3 children)

lol pronouns and content warning for animal abuse and their products really triggers libs

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

It's so funny how much they whine about the pronouns. If it was a choice between male/female/other they'd be fine with it, but blob-on-fire PRONOUNS blob-on-fire are too much.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Going by spelling and phrase choices, l'd say the majority of them are youngish Americans who're still naive enough to believe extreme left-wing/anarcho political systems aren't just as controlling of the populace as the political systems they despise. Either that or they crave big state control systems because the feel a lack of control in their own lives and want a political daddy to make the decisions for them.

Wow really got us there communism = big goberment

Cool. Enjoy your stay. Hopefully you and the people you interact with walk away having learnt something, or at least with an appreciation for why one another has arrived at their respective positions.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 11 months ago

Valuing your career over thousands of dead civilians is bad.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Even if we accepted your terminally muh both sides-brained argument that there are two competing propaganda efforts, one of them is backed by the full force of the Western media.

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

So? Yes that’s one side. What, because the other side isn’t, it’s more believable?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 11 months ago

The side being genocided is generally more believable than the side doing and supporting the genocide.

And the first side I'm talking about here are the Palestinian civilians and medical staff who have described their personal experiences of being bombed by Israel.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

yes-chad

One side has a vested interest worth billions of dollars.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That doesn’t make the other side more believable.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

yikes.. just gonna double down on it now huh? might wanna just head back to libland
