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

I remember there were some communist sympathies... this one is just sad. Maybe there's botting going on, because of the vote percentage, but still.

All of Reddit is definitely more reactionary than it was a couple years ago. Maybe that's partially because all the lefties and radlibs moved to Lemmy, but mostly I think it's because of astroturfing.

Actually, the extreme fracturing of the Palestine resistance groups was the inspiration for the peoples front jokes

Holy shit no it wasn't shut the fuck up cracker, it was very clearly intended to be a joke about the incredible fragmentation of (mostly trot) socialist parties in England. The movie is from fucking 1979, more than a decade before the fragmentation of Palestinian politics occurred.

This poster is made by The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), who are secular Marxist–Leninist and socialist Palestinian organization (google it), their posters/actions/speech were never based on any religion. By the way, their founder is George Habash, whom was born to a christian Palestinian parents.

Congrats. You successfully googled the name of the organisation and found the paper where they declare towards the outside world what is supposed to be their intentions

Now read about their actions in practice

Whatever they did, they did not do it in the name of religion.

All smuglord no very-smart

These liberals are just fascists, they don't consider Palestinians (or muslims for that matter) as people, so they assume they're all religious extremists

"Everyone knows the brown people are run by islam" is one hell of a take

I'm shocked the lib didn't just outright call them slurs

"You fool, you imbecile! You would believe decades of consistent political mesasaging instead of my random lmayo bigotry?!!?!?!?!"

The other side of when "religious fanatics" abide by the rules of their religion and cracker lose their shit.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

So stupid because, if the PFLP really was an Islamist group instead of the Marxists they claim to be, why would Israel fund Hamas? These libs always point out that Israel funded Hamas as a gotcha, as if that meant all of Hamas' actions play into the Zionists' plans/interests. But if both assumptions were true, why fund anyone at all? If they're equally bad?!

Hot take; America does not have propaganda posters because Amerikkkans lack the necessary media literacy to interpret a poster

[–] Self_Sealing_Stem_Bolt@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Propaganda posters were replaced with the "24 hour news cycle". Fox and cnn etc are the propaganda posters now. And twitter ig

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

We've got so many propaganda departments it's hard to keep track of them all. It's one area where our country is genuinely a global leader in innovation.

[–] disposable_cracker@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do billboards count as posters?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Hmm. I don't know!

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Real nihonese: dies after doing nanking (good)

Fake Japanese: dies fighting for oppressed people (bad)

[–] disposable_cracker@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

It was removed.
