You can smell the "I'm apolitical/actually very progressive" and the "No, I haven't considered/didn't opt for conscientious objection to IOF mandatory service" through the screen

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

Right on the money. He's a liberal who's horrified by Netanyahu's constitutional reforms. He also posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillologycirclejerk/comments/q3beji/flag_of_palestine_but_it_will_spark_a_ruthless/
Wait, I'm sorry, but the vexillology post is really funny. If a Hexbear posted that on a lib lemmy comm it'd be hilarious. I guess their intention with it was "redditors are so antisemitic they'll bust a vein from seeing the Israeli flag" while my no-context reading was "redditors are such garbage you know there's gonna be a thousand jerkoffs going 'well ackchually' in the comment section."
Edit: nevermind, just saw the 13/50 post he also made. 
That context is important. If a hexbear user posted this I'd assume they're a communist making a shitty joke. It's too one-dimensionally edgelord for an anti-Zionist to post. When it's a Zionist posting it from Israel in the lead-up to its current genocide, it's just like a Nazi posting "Here's the Soviet flag" with a swastika in 1937.
Gotta remember all circlejerk subs are irony poisoned besides gcj because we run the mod team there.
tgcj is also fine if you can get past the definitely not ironic dysphoria posting, cloaked in irony. trans people start at left-lib for the most part and it's not very hard to convince most of them to become comrades of one sort or another, and it shows in the posts on that sub.
Gcj is also horribly irony poisoned they're just also sometimes right
fair, my info's dated. I literally haven't logged into reddit since chacha was created 
what is gcj? guitar?

The specter of the hexbear cabal looms large over reddit 
Also quick question why does at minimum one out of every t people you play against know you're isreali? Isn't chess pretty much completely anonymous. Or are you upset you're getting called out despite making it a part of your personality.
On chess dot com, you select a flag to put next to your username.
You have the same thing in Street Fighter, and being a normal person I just pick 🇰🇵.
For like 20 goddamn years a player can't join a game without being harassed for having a Chinese name. Everything from "Taiwan no. 1!" to boiler plate racism.
Yeah it's totally okay to spam the dumb liberal Tiny Man Square copypasta every-time when there is something or someone that is related to China.
I feel like that doesn't actually work anymore because people have done that in a game I played in and they still kept playing and just ignored the comments.

The terrorist in question. Shortly before the invasion he left to study music in New York. He's afraid his relationship back in Israel might not last. Tell him that his girlfriend has already left him for a real man soldier and maybe he'll go die in the war he supports.
Here's how racist he is. Find me a name.
it's also the flag of the country that the nazis were inspired by to do what they did
Yes this countries history is as troubling as it is beautiful
lmao
I pray to Allah that his girlfriend will marry a chad PFLP veteran and live happily ever after in a free Palestine.
that comment thread caused me psychic damage geez
This is how the rest of the world should treat USAians.
Once got a whole tf2 lobby to kick out an israeli from thr game
Knowing Israelis, the guy you kicked probably did most of the convincing for you.
The server had a dude who made several t*welhead jokes and even he thought ksrael's racism was too much and also wanted the guy gone
This is my favorite emoji and one of my favorite images ever. The fact that it's Scott the Woz, the whitest possible person, the bad fit of the t shirt and the expression and stance showing HE MEANS IT. If he can look kinda cool just by being based, anyone can.
Knowing TF2, it was likely because he was Jewish lol
Fascist infighting
I disable chat online cause I can't stomach it, but I absolutely go harder against Israeli flags in chess
I see one and immediately start attacking. scholar's mate into the dumbest fucking wild attack that invariably somehow works out because they panic. I should probably just attack more often and spend less time worrying about playing the right moves.
You ever threaten mate in 1 and get check mated in counter? Happened to me today and I'M FUCKING MAD ABOUT IT. I was up a piece, silent_water!
yes, I malded and dropped 50 points because I kept rage clicking new game. forgetting to make luft - the bane of my existence.
I can't solve the conflict
Nobody expects you to. What you can do is to do your part to end apartheid. You could join pro-Palestinian groups inside settler society, you could refuse to take part in genocide and apartheid and leave Palestine for your homeland or you could simply say free Palestine as well and tell that you support decolonisation and oppose zionism.
Unlike being a Jew, being a zionist is a choice. Being born into the master race of an an evil fascist state does not predestine you to be a fascist. You can in fact do the right thing.
I’m from Nazi Germany, and every like 5 games or so I get an opponent that just says “end the Holocaust” or calls me a war criminal and either quits the game or keeps harassing me. Like dude can I just play chess without being called out on my nationality, I can’t solve the conflict and you telling me this makes no one but you feel better. And that’s questionable as well. Makes me not want to go online sometimes.
My treats!! 😭😭
