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

how is the international community supposed to believe and act on behalf of israeli victims when israel are the ones bombing any survivors?????

So the strategy is kill and maim an entire population until you get to the perpetrators?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

apparently. they've already killed hostages with their bombs.

but this specific framing around white womanhood being violated, and that needing revenge, but not with any concern for the well being of the actual women reminds me of the 1956 film The Searchers. [spoilers for ancient movie] the cowboy main characters are -searching- for years after a kidnapped white girl, murdering anyone who gets in their way, and when they capture her after murdering the tribe she was with and she's upset & struggling against them---the main guy almost kills her for betraying the campaign of extermination against the natives. he doesn't and that's like the moral of the film or whatever---but it shows the same ideology at work. if there is an israeli hostage in Gaza right now who, when released, advocated for palestine, the zionists would not hesitate to kill her.

So the strategy is kill and maim an entire population until ~~you get to the perpetrators~~ they’re ethnically cleansed from the region.

Lessons from Gal Gadot

you don't even have to not believe them, hamas wouldn't attack (or exist!) if not for the colonizing and previous genocidal efforts so the problem would stop if the colonial project stopped. No amount of interpersonal violence justifies what israel is doing and what israel is doing is literally in the way of justice for these alleged victims.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

its one thing zizek is right about. interpersonal violence is horrible of course but systemic violence is the real monster and israel is the perpetrator in that realm 1000x times in ways hamas will never be

Shitposting Guarantees Citizenship

They're really grasping at straws. I get this feeling believe all women doesn't include the part where she prescribes some political meaning to it (i.e. "They were Hamas terrorists"). I can believe a woman got raped without necessarily believing her rapist was like Voldemort. If this wasn't the case, then you could get browbeaten into voting for Joe Biven because Tara Reade doesn't cancel out Stormy Daniels and you must be part of the harm reduction. How absolutely shameless.

So, we should treat Hollywood like Gaza. I'm more or less in.
