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

translated text
A 16-year-old girl has been sentenced to 30 days of conditional imprisonment for praising Hamas's attacks on Israel, according to Ritzau.

Under an article titled "Live: Israel attacked with missiles" on Ekstra Bladet's Facebook page, the girl wrote: "Yass," followed by a heart-eye emoji and the Palestinian flag.

The girl, who has family in the conflict-affected area, stated in Aalborg court that she had not read the article.

"I just wanted to show support for Palestine—meaning the civilians. I didn't know Hamas was behind it," she said in court.

She is considering whether to appeal the case to the high court.

I've seen people write so much heinous shit about palestinians, but god forbid you lightly approve of a military action against Israel. This makes me feel like I'm insane. I still have to hear people talk about "nuance" how the fuck can they be so blind to how we're getting forcefed the most obvious propaganda in the world? screm-a

Where are all those free speech warriors from 2016 who were defending the alt-rights hateful shit?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 3 weeks ago

Most likely saying "Yassss" under the news about arrest.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 28 points 3 weeks ago

Well it's nuanced, you see

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

Well you see I'm a closeted racist so I of course will defend nazis when they say something I agree with.

Defending brown people though? Come on!

“Supporting” Hamas / Al-Qassam Brigades (or Hezbollah, or the PFLP, etc) is functionally meaningless in Europe and North America. You can’t send them weapons or money (god I wish). You can’t go there and fight with them. You can’t send them food. Your words of “support” can’t actually do anything (saying this as someone who is 110% supportive of those groups mentioned above). We have no way of affecting the outcome. Saying you support Hamas right now is like saying you support the Jacobites at Culloden. It doesn’t actually do anything.

The fact that governments are taking actions like this shows they really do see not just the words but the thoughts and sentiments of the people (especially young people, not because they are young but because of their general opinions) as a threat. Controlling the narrative is critical. It used to be they could control the news media easily, but social media is so much harder for them to keep a lid on. Of course they’re mostly successful at it, but even if they do have functional control over Facebook, Twitter et al it’s not as tight as the control they have over traditional media. Actions like the one here are how they plan on controlling the narrative, along with banning platforms that don’t hand over censorship control to western governments.

I totally agree. I just meant support in the lib way where they think typing "slava ukraini" does anything. Lib support you know.

Edit: Sorry thought your comment was in response to this

[–] CleverOleg@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Right I mean, I am a westerner who “supports” Hamas. I put an Al-Qassam Brigades wallpaper on my computer. Recognizing that our support can’t do anything isn’t a criticism, it’s just a factual statement of the situation we are in at the moment. I think the fact that some governments are coming down hard on this “support” shows how nervous they are about these sentiments “breaching containment”.

listen i am all for praising missile attacks on israel but like

"I just wanted to show support for Palestine—meaning the civilians. I didn't know Hamas was behind it," she said in court.

did she think the civilians fired the missiles or

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 68 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think she doesn't want to go to jail

[–] roux@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah that sounds like she was lawyered.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

There's this game going on where people condemn hamas but celebrate palestinian resistance while ignoring that almost all of that is hamas. They're separating the two in their head in order to hold both ideas simultaneously so they're not "bad" for supporting hamas because everyone says that's a bad thing.

This comes from a lack of people being willing to accept imperfect resistance, and also the exceptional power of the western media propaganda.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 38 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

this is a 16-year-old girl so i will excuse the liberalism

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah fair but this isn't unique to the young ones, in fact I would argue that the younger people often have better views on the realities of resistance than many of the older

[–] The_Jewish_Cuban@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, she's also in a current legal battle for her future right now. I dunno about y'all but I'd sing whatever song my lawyer told me to. I don't feel as though me standing by my beliefs in this situation would particularly benefit anyone.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Every lib loves to fellate themselves talking about "nuance" which is just a long winded way of saying "status quo good"

Real nuance is supporting Hamas. Real nuance is supporting Iran and Russia in their war agianst the US. The concept of critical support would give libs an aneurism.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

Saying the correct line that will be praised by internet leftists > her not going to fucking jail.

[–] replaceable@hexbear.net 30 points 3 weeks ago

I think she is just saying anything to not appear "guilty"

Balkanization map of China but it's of Denmark and incredibly niche and deranged. Somehow England ends up controlling parts due to how the map maker things the Danelaw should have gone or something. Another part is now held in joint custody by the balkans due to the 30 years war

eric-andre im going to give the whole fucking thing to the irish republic, and if they fail to kill the king i'll do it myself

[–] PosadistInevitablity@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago

Meanwhile Israeli strikes on innocent Palestinians are just “collateral damage”, so cheering those on is perfectly legal.

Western propaganda is so tiresome once you see through it.

I truly urge everyone to abandon fedpostingbook / instagram / meta. To boycott all of ZuckIsBorg's toys / traps for your own good.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

But I flirt with people over instagram!

[–] NewOldGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

I just don’t expose anything to those platforms that isn’t already public or that could come back to bite me if it were. They are garbage platforms for political discussion, I don’t even try. They’re just ways to know what my friends and family are up to and their major life events

That said if you have no connection to these platforms already or can use an alternative please do. And don’t rely on them to protect any aspect of your privacy or security, sandbox them and the information they get because they will exploit you or leak ur shit
