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

Genius move trying to deflect blame to the guy Biden is willing to pit the "free world" against the ICC for, after sending him weapons in bulk every other day.

Fr, I'm wondering if Blue Dog liberals will ever come to understand that treating the people they are trying to "win over" like imbeciles who don't have access to a 24/7 news stream through the tiny computer in their pocket isn't "the strategy".

Biden ended the war in Afghanistan then immediately seized their sovereign wealth in an act of piracy, causing a famine that effected millions of people. I do give me credit for that.

I do give me credit for that.

The ultimate self crit

Pretty sure Trump was the one that set a date to end U.S. occupation and Biden was just following through with the agreement. Also remember when people that had cooperated with the U.S. were left en masse and Afghanis were holding onto the landing gear to escape the Taliban?

Afghanis we’re holding onto the landing gear to escape the Taliban

The Taliban are Afghanis too you know, and these people are traitorous comprador scum who deserve whatever fate met them

I maybe phrased that poorly. Just meant in the context of perpetuating empire that such a public display of telling collaborators to get fucked wasn't a great look, particularly in the view of the blue maga in the screen shot touting it as a policy win.

Shout out to the US for doing everything it can to damage its own ability to convince the comprador class that it will be a stable ally when political winds change.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Honestly this; no mercy for collaborators

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 63 points 1 year ago

From what I remember leftists were pretty much the only ones defending Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan. Take it up with NPR, libs.

Excuse me sweaty but you can only blame one person for genocide smuglord

Unless Biden personally pulls the trigger on each Palestinian, it's just sparkling mass murder

I haven't used google in awhile but I just Googled Benjamin Netanyahu and I literally had to scroll three full screen lengths on my phone to get an actual search result.

[–] sub_ubi@lemmy.ml 59 points 1 year ago

I googled Netanyahu! First story that pops up is Biden protecting him from international law and any pretense of rules based order.

[–] hexinvictus@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago

Trump pulled out of Afghanistan. Biden just didn't stop it

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

Weird how much Biden claims to hate Bibi yet opposes ICC investigation into him. soviet-hmm

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

Okay I also will not vote for Benjamin Netanyahu, thanks for the heads up

Erm akshually the entire history of the zionist occupation is all this one guy, I am very a serious person and not at all a perfect candidate for forced labor

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

I don't like saying that Biden is "supporting" genocide. He is commiting genocide. He is actively taking part in it.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Hillary was truly the best candidate for these people. Which says exactly as much about them as it does about her.

"China, Iran, North Korea, and various other countries providing weaponry to Russia makes them fully complicit in the war against Ukraine. Hell, even if they only supply components that could be manufactured into weapons, we have to stop that trade by any means necessary."

"...no, Biden directly giving and boasting about supplying tens of billions of dollars worth of bombs to Israel doesn't make him even remotely complicit in what Israel is doing, what the hell are you talking about?"
