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

Violently displacing the locals backed by your government's military while also having served in that army and are a reservist, totally sounds like civilians to me

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

Settlers are valid military targets.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Westerners learn what leftism and fascism is challenge (impossible)

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

Idk the phrase "red fash" is a good indicator to show someone is deeply unserious

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The same settlers that state they are fascist, and that they need to kill Palestinians or be killed? Yeah, they can hang like slave owners, Nazis, and other monsters that are a danger to humanity.

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

If someone intentionally goes to be a human shield for an invading military, they are an enemy combatant by definition.

If Russia built apartment buildings in territory that they occupied in Ukraine and then moved in volunteer civilians from Russia, no one would question what those people are.

Tankie is a compliment at this point

Fr It has come to mean "person who has passed the first and most basic test of solidarity over chauvinism in a time of genocide"

One of the top newspapers in Franklin County, Kansas this month was from an abolitionist saying that "slave owners aren't civilians" in relation to the May 24th attacks, and that shit had over 800 readers. Jesus Christ, wtf is wrong with some people?

Sounds like Yankees

Definitely yankees. They’re the worst, man.

Anyway back to attacking aid convoys

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

These are the same guys trying to determine "legal" ways of doing genocide.

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I carry a gun, invade your land, build my house, burn your car and crops, kill your animals, all under the protection of a state military that will kill you if you retaliate, and liberals in the West will still defend me because I’m a “civilian”

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Nooo I’m definitely a civilian believe me

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You need to give 10 Hail Dales and shotgun a natty ice and all will be resolved.

[–] Skeleton_Erisma@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Man I haven't had natty ice since my college years

[–] InternetLefty@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Do people not realize that these are literally settlers, who settle an area after the Palestinian population has been removed? That Palestinians are being targeted by a crooked legal and extralegal process of legal harassment and a campaign of fear mongering intended to get them to leave? And that the Israeli government hands rifles out to these people for "self-defense"?

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone who talks about “red fash” needs the Wall. Dumb to the point continued existence harms humanity, holy shit.

[–] amphibian@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i remember being bored and asking chatgpt if it thought red fascist was a fair term to use to see what it would say, and it basically straight up told me that its a reductive stupid label. even the robots are smarter than these losers

[–] reaper_cushions@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Their children? Sure, not their fault they are born into a murderous cult. The adults? Lmao

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Paramilitaries are actually innocent civilians? Oh boy is Reagan gonna be embarrassed when he finds that out and remembers that whole Nicaragua thing...

[–] rubpoll@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Love getting called a tankie for opposing the use of tanks in Gaza.
