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

peaceful march

They tried that, Israel mowed them down en masse, it didn't lose an ounce of legitimacy in the eyes of international-community-1international-community-2

I wonder if there is some kind of socio-economic forces that are the driving reasons behind the world hegemon supporting the fascist state of isn'treal? thinkin-lenin

Just so everyone knows, they did lead a peaceful march a few years back and the Israelis shot thousands and thousands of them.

And Israel lost no legitimacy over it, the international media either treated it as business like usual, those rowdy middle easterners just failing to get along, or straight up told Palestinians that they had no right to protest like that and that every single civilian was actually either a willing or stupid human shield for cloaked hamas agents, there to attack the IDF.

The Palestinians should offer themselves to the butcher's knife. They should throw themselves into the sea from cliffs. It would arouse the world and the people of Israel.

Beat me to it. Easy to say other people should just lay down and die I guess.

he meant himself/Indians as well -- he was that idealistic and had that poor of a understanding of why his protests worked in India. MLK was all around the much better political leader, down to reassessing his view on nonviolence.

Do libs live in the real world?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago

They get their ideas and their personality templates from The West Wing and related shows.

“Just line up against the mass graves so the fascists can kill you easily” is quite the take from libs

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They literally did the "lie down and pretend to be dead and let them arrest you" "protest" during the George Floyd stuff. Liberal ideology has no room for effective political action.

radliberalism is a disease and a potentially fatal one that will get you killed doing stupid pointless symbolic horseshit

Last time I saw someone say this in a Hexbear comment I went and checked, and the poster was in fact 16 years old.

This time I checked, the poster is an editor for Jacobin and a grown ass man.

social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism

The fuck is it with liberals finding the aesthetic of oppression sexy? If you die without fighting your oppressors, you're a sexy hero. If you fight back and attempt to liberate yourself from your oppressors all of a sudden you're a hideous beast and suddenly it's your oppressors who need all the backup in the universe to protect them from your "unprovoked" attacks.

It's literally an ideology to disarm the oppressed and protect the function and integrity of oppressors (justifying mythos). These people want DSA type shit where they believe bringing a bunch of flowers to your own fucking funeral is somehow noble praxis. Surrendering yourself to the enemy is how we're supposed to win struggles... Well, why aren't they suggesting such shit for the Ukrainians? They conveniently support force only when it's the worst people imaginable perpetrating it.

Liberalism and the justifying mythos they leverage must be destroyed. Force works. Fuck these people who try to keep the oppressed docile.
