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

it’s called learning from your mistakes. source: grew up in germany. once you’re shown original holocaust footage in school you don’t quite easily dismiss israel’s right to exist

learning from your mistakes

It took us a while, but German engineering has finally found a way to have state enforced antisemitism and racism while openly cheering on genocide without getting blamed for it.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

Good news is that it's German engineering so the transmission will give out any day now.

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sounds like the Germans want Israel to exist so they have somewhere to send all their Jews.

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

This is the unironic reason for the fascist-zionist alliance.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Look, we're progressive okay? We atone for our sins by allowing someone else do what we did.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

It's not even just that. Germany supports genociding Palestinians for the exact same reasons it supported genociding Jews (and almost everyone else at the time). Its not progress, its just that the target is historically contextual.

ISRAEL =|= JEWISH PEOPLE arrrghghghghg

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

They should also show dead Palestinian babies in Gaza

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

It always seems to boil down to "Well the holocaust was bad, so I guess israel gets to do whatever they want, including a second holocaust against Palestinians."

Israel gets little a Berlin as a treat?

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Out of spite on my part, yes

[–] Bobby_DROP_TABLES@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

If you told me "Germany is making people agree to support Israel as a requirement for citizenship" I would probably assume it was rumor made up on /pol/

[–] wheresmysurplusvalue@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Does this even do anything? I mean yeah you can say new naturalized citizens signed some agreement, but that sounds basically as valid as a contract signed under duress

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not sure about German law, but generally one of the few ways a country can try to undo naturalization or grant of citizenship is if the applicant lied on their application. Therefore, if you declare that you support the Zionist Entity's right to exist but then attend a pro-Palestine rally, the government could theoretically try to strip you of your citizenship.

Showing up dressed as the "Why Not Both" meme, during my expulsion hearing and immediately getting ejected from the country because us-foreign-policy

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One simple trick to stop Germany from stripping you of citizenship (immigration officers hate this!):

Give up your previous nationality so you are a citizen of Germany only. International law prevents countries from intentionally making people stateless.

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

International law prevents countries from intentionally making people stateless.

Definitely a gamble, given that international laws aren't particularly well-enforced.

[–] borlax@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Every government form I sign feels like I’m under duress. Not even joking…

[–] star_wraith@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m assuming this is more just a way to limit Arab migration to Germany than it is anything about genuine support for Israel.

[–] Sinister@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Arab migration to Saxony-Anhalt? The average age is like 50 or something there.
