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

Going Rambo Mode only to run out of mojo after 15 minutes and then dying to friendly fire.

Dudes rock.

"Ya know what, I actually don't want to wage a one man protracted campaign against an opposing army with nothing but a pen, think I'll go home now."

rip-bozo

How do you even live in Israel without imploding due to cringe? Every part of this country is embarrassing.

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's a settler-nerd country. Closest related example is Utah (or the Puritans.) They're entirely composed of cringe and only the cold hand of capital kept them from being driven out with a wedgie.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fascists have no sense of cringe.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Fascists actually have a very acute sense of cringe, it's just that the things they consider cringe are things like "being a minority" and "caring about vulnerable people"

"Where are the open fire regulations?"

I'm amazed that stuff said entirely to give liberal Israelis a fig leaf of deniability about their genocide is taken seriously. Imagine taking it at face value when you can look outside your window and see it isn't true.

Meanwhile actual IDF troops were like "Yeah there are no rules of engagement so we kinda just shoot people and residential buildings until we run out of people and residential buildings to kill.

changed his mind & walked back

Dude tried to walk left in super mario smh

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

He walked 500m unimpeded [...] changed his mind and walked back

Oh come on, even his family has to admit they're better off without him. We're all better off without this fucking loser. Grass is going to grow greener this year.

You laugh that he went in unarmed, but he was carrying a pen and had just watched all of the John Wick AND Jason Bourne movies back to back.

[–] glans@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sounds like he was attempting to defect if not just completely disoriented.

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Could he have been attempting suicide? His propaganda has probably told him something like a lone IDF soldier in Gaza would be bombed and sniped, even if unarmed, maybe he saw that it wasn't that way and changed his mind

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Gonna be honest, an Israeli heading into Gaza alone to try to fight IDF alone probably isn't in a great mental state to begin with, and was probably struggling with himself a lot before he even stepped foot in.

That said, it's wild how a Hamas command centre appeared under his feet just moments before the drone struck.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Why kill an unarmed man?

So killing unarmed people is bad now huh?

[–] artificialset@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

hoping for many more friendly fire deaths!

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Are there any confirmed instances where Palestinian troops killed any civilians on Oct 7th?

[–] Deadend@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He thought he was solid snake.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Should have brought that cardboard box.

This is better than grim satire
