the_dunk_tank
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

Anyone with a conscience who sees the footage coming out of Gaza and hears the rhetoric of Israel's politicians, and the rhetoric coming from Israel's defenders will inevitably be sickened beyond their core.
Obviously, the solution is to simply not do that. Don't watch the Gaza footage. Don't listen to Israeli politicians. Don't pay attention to the rhetoric from Israel's defenders. Fixate exclusively on some Arab teenager in a balaclava carrying an AK, then tell yourself "This person wants to do a Full Hitler and we must eliminate him at all costs".
Fully internalize the narratives of the Iraq War, by labeling everyone standing under an Israel bomb or in the path of a sniper's bullet as an "enemy combatant", without exception.
I've legit hit a wall with my mother when discussing Gaza and Israel at this point. She somehow fully believes everything that Israel says (including the whole "theres Hamas hiding under the hospitals") while also believing the conflict is 1000 years old and due to religious doctrines getting in the way. I've just given up trying to explain anything other than "read israeli newspapers and listen to their politicians, they sound like fucking Goebbels".
