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

Yup, just accidentally fired 3 separate missiles at 3 separate cars clearly marked as aid organizations that have explicitly given you their information and whereabouts to prevent being targeted. Just a big ole oopsie

"Oh, we got our 'Do not target' list mixed up with our 'Target' list, sowwy. Please give 35 billion now"

Joe Biden is really gonna lose himself a walk in presidential election not just because he refuses to do anything good, but also because he insists on openly, actively doing objectively terrible things like aiding a genocide

And libs are still out here like "hE's NoT aS bAd As TrUmP wIlL bE"

All he had to do was the BAREST minimum and he'd have won in a landslide, but he won't even give up tablescraps

It's a Democrat tradition at this point

Own goals and supporting establishment candidates way past their sell-by date

I really really really want to beat the shit out of this guy.

The manager of the global order has addressed your concerns to the best of their ability. The problem is yours not ours!

We're sorry you feel bad (addendum: but go fuck yourself)

It's Homer Simpson asking for no more apples in the vending machine except instead of the vending machine it's Gaza, instead of apples it's genocide, and instead of Homer Simpson it's basically every progressive voter under thirty.

Sometimes I still think about this guy's glowing endorsement of the IDF when he was asked if the US was concerned about civilian deaths way back in early November:

On Israeli efforts to minimize civilian casualties, NSC's John Kirby says: "We have seen some indications that there are there are efforts being applied in certain scenarios to try to minimize, but I don't want to overstate that."

Really helped put things in perspective for me about how ridiculous the demands that we stop backing the IDF are once I understood how much these decisions are weighing on them.

Occasionally in some situations under the right circumstances, they won’t kill civilians, but predominantly yes. Ridiculous.

money please

The tide seems to be turning on social media. I've noticed a huge shift in the ratio of comments calling it out. Still nowhere near enough.

The way this guy talks in the video makes my skin crawl.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

He has such a Patrick Bateman quality to him. Too polished, always smiling like a fox.

[–] Zodiark@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

They have to say that as the government would be liable in empowering those violations if they did admit that.

[–] wombat@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.

I had only seen the screengrab.

Here's the video.

Holy mother of fuck. He's somehow gotten even worse and he was already awful.
