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

Isn't that just how abusive people think? Look at what you made me do! Etc etc

Anne's hope is to provoke her husband into beating her badly enough to besmirch him in the eyes of the public - a classic womanly strategy of provocation that her husband has fallen for.

Let me guess, unconventional thinking is “keep doing the genocide, just ignore the complaints “?

Me when Israel kills civilians: “ah classic”

The solution is to turn the genocide dial and look back at your enablers in the West for approval.

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Basically this. Setup camps inside Israel with international cooperation to administer them. Then go after HAMAS in Gaza after everyone willing to leave for a camp has done so. Because only HAMAS will stay *handwave.

Is the way out to simply not commit genocide?

No, that would be giving Hamas what it wants.

The classic terrorist strategy of getting killed

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

Hamas will win if we stop blowing up an entire ethnic group, have you ever considered that? liberalism

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

maybe-later-kiddo "the war could literally be over if Hamas simply surrendered unconditionally and released the hostages that IDF totally haven't killed in a bombing"

Nazi Germany has fallen into the International Jewish Conspiracy's Holocaust trap. Here's how they can still win.

Hasbara: "Not cool bro! We put a lot of work into circulating Islamophobic lies and manipulating media coverage! At least half the credit for this genocidal rage belongs to us!"

rigging a piano with Dynamite so it blows up when a certain note is played, only to have IDF purposely miss the note enough times that Hamas has to show them how it's played, only to have it blow up in their face. Then disintegrate into a pile of black ash
