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

She has also criticised the actions of the Israeli government while arguing it has a right to self-defence, and is no fan of the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

"We would like to see some of that enthusiasm recognise Hamas as a terrorist organisation that did a barbaric thing in Israel," she said.

Wtf am I supposed to do about Hamas? My country doesn't fund it, unlike a certain other military organization.

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 97 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great point there Nancy..big fucking brain you got there.

"We're protesting Hamas. We demand that our university cease working with and funding them"

"Done... We uh never funded them"

"Ok now we're protesting Israel. We demand you stop working with and funding them"

Is there a word for an intense sadness that comes all the way back around to hopeless laughter?

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

if there is it's probably in german

Is that what gallows humor is?

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

How does one use the phrase? It doesn't sound like the description of an emotion to me @comrade_pibb@hexbear.net @KittyBobo@hexbear.net

One must imagine Sisyphus putting on clown makeup.

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

It's tragicomic

Gallows humor

Nothing appeals to your base like scolding them

good-morning why won’t pro-Palestine activists do our propaganda for us?!

I'm going to need a list of every bad thing that's happened since that fish crawled out of the ocean and you need to condemn all of it before I take you seriously. But I'll find one thing that I can point out in your list that is iffy, and use it to discredit you anyway, so good luck!

[–] Irony@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you condemn the fish crawling to land and starting all of this?

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

Terrestrial tetrapods are pretty cringe

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago

You used the terrorism line too much the last time you had bloodlust for Muslims, sweaty.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

Israel is a barbaric thing shrug-outta-hecks

Hey Nance why don't you have a fucking heart attack already

Straight to stroke. They won't be able to catch the signs until it's too late because they'll assume incoherent babbling and facial paralysis are normal for her - that decrepit fuck

Good morning. Sunday morning.

Nancy, is Israel's operation of the Gaza concentration camp a barbaric thing?

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 1 year ago

that's just Israel protecting themselves from hamas

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

It’s only barbaric to fight back.

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why did Hamas have to do a barbaric thing in Israel, and what is the right way to destroy the state of Israel?

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Plus most of the barbarism on 10/7 seems to have been committed by the IDF

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If it was even committed in the first place.

I just saw a clip of Hasan on CNN where they're still repeating "50x more infants than were even reported killed or missing got stuffed into ovens" blood libel.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

smash cut to IDF branded ovens

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

Didn't the official numbers from Israel say that zero people from the ages of 0-2 died there? So... technically, I guess it is 50 times more than were reported?

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well I condemn both the GOP and neo-nazis, they are powerful groups in the US that have much in common with Hamas, yet they always seem to get a free pass.

You know, come to think of it, Nancy Pelosi is more ideologically similar to Hamas than I am.

[–] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

Okay fine you can stop sending them jet fighters too

Canadian healthcare is free, she should look into it

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Self-defence yet the settler colonialists have always been on the offense since 1947. Yeah okay Geriatric Pelosi.

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

She should know. She was alive back then

Nancy Pelosi is so out of touch it's insane

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Pelosi didn't come to our realm to learn about it, she came here to make it more like her home dimension by consuming all kindness and hope here

She looks like she's having a stroke in that picture

[–] KittyBobo@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

You're absolutely right, Nancy Pelosi, we shouldn't show our support to Hamas at protests.

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Too bad, if the USA was proactive at stopping at what’s happening a week after oct 7th and force a ceasefire. The protesters might be just a little bit receptive to your demand

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

someone put this old fuck out of her misery already

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Also the advice of about 1/4 of the users on Hexbear apparently

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

Damn Pelosi looks like shit she didn’t look this bad even a few years ago.

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

What is wrong with her eye?
