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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

I disable chat online cause I can't stomach it, but I absolutely go harder against Israeli flags in chess

I see one and immediately start attacking. scholar's mate into the dumbest fucking wild attack that invariably somehow works out because they panic. I should probably just attack more often and spend less time worrying about playing the right moves.

You ever threaten mate in 1 and get check mated in counter? Happened to me today and I'M FUCKING MAD ABOUT IT. I was up a piece, silent_water!

I can't solve the conflict

Nobody expects you to. What you can do is to do your part to end apartheid. You could join pro-Palestinian groups inside settler society, you could refuse to take part in genocide and apartheid and leave Palestine for your homeland or you could simply say free Palestine as well and tell that you support decolonisation and oppose zionism.

Unlike being a Jew, being a zionist is a choice. Being born into the master race of an an evil fascist state does not predestine you to be a fascist. You can in fact do the right thing.

The terrorist in question. Shortly before the invasion he left to study music in New York. He's afraid his relationship back in Israel might not last. Tell him that his girlfriend has already left him for a real man soldier and maybe he'll go die in the war he supports.

Here's how racist he is. Find me a name.

You can smell the "I'm apolitical/actually very progressive" and the "No, I haven't considered/didn't opt for conscientious objection to IOF mandatory service" through the screen

Right on the money. He's a liberal who's horrified by Netanyahu's constitutional reforms. He also posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillologycirclejerk/comments/q3beji/flag_of_palestine_but_it_will_spark_a_ruthless/

Wait, I'm sorry, but the vexillology post is really funny. If a Hexbear posted that on a lib lemmy comm it'd be hilarious. I guess their intention with it was "redditors are so antisemitic they'll bust a vein from seeing the Israeli flag" while my no-context reading was "redditors are such garbage you know there's gonna be a thousand jerkoffs going 'well ackchually' in the comment section."

Edit: nevermind, just saw the 13/50 post he also made. barbara-pit

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

That context is important. If a hexbear user posted this I'd assume they're a communist making a shitty joke. It's too one-dimensionally edgelord for an anti-Zionist to post. When it's a Zionist posting it from Israel in the lead-up to its current genocide, it's just like a Nazi posting "Here's the Soviet flag" with a swastika in 1937.
