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 [email protected]

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

Best highlights:

Well since marx and his antisemtic works to stalinist antisemitism to the current rush of commies who are all antisemitic cause they follow marx and stalin.

Leftist organizing is filled with antisemitism. Why won't condemn china russia or sri lanka for their genocides while only condemning israel. See this is why lot of jewish folk are feeling this anti zionism is antisemitic.

Find nuance within zionism rather than just being anti zionist as all those rabid college protestors

Banning israeli who served in the idf once is not a good look and obviously anti semitic.

Neil druckman is being unfairly maligned.

A lot of leftists praise hamas and that's as bad as idf. Y'all blindly supoort them just cause they are fighting israel. Meanwhile you all ignore sri lanka doing tamil genocide and the ccp doing uyghur genocide. But you all cheer on jewish civilians killed on oct 7.

Equating zionist to white supremacy or white people is very antisemitic. You leftists don't condemn sri lanka or china cause they are not white. This is a common stalinist tradition.

Also hamas is just has their own interests and don't care about jeopardizing palestine's future.

Zionism was not the product of its leaders. Implying they pushed it or they were powerful is antisemitic. It actually formed cause jewish folk escaped persecution and came here. It was a movement cause it has emotional appeal. Zionism is an emotion. Holocaust was the reason for all the jewish folk to form a jewish state.

Do you condemn hamas? Hamas attacks on civillians parallels nazi attacks for the average gentile. Hamas is a fundamentalist antisemitic group.

Every time I try to seriously engage with the topic of antisemitism on the left - since, you know, antisemitism is bad and I don't want to be doing antisemitism - whatever podcast or article or whatever the fuck I read fails at nearly the first hurdle and it basically just turns out to be zionist entryism. Does anybody have not-bullshit recommendations here?

Also I fucking love arguments like:

Meanwhile you all ignore sri lanka doing tamil genocide and the ccp doing uyghur genocide

I could send out an email to the entire company I work at condemning these things and nothing would come of it. If I even hint that I don't love israel to the bottom of my soul in a company meeting I would be fired so fast my head would spin. Wow, which issue am I going to be engaging with more I wonder?

You all ignore Sri lanka tamil genocide

I don't know whether she lives under some rock. I don't know who like ignores or doesn't know like one of worst atrocities in the region.

Its very bizarre to be like "oh the college protesters or vocal anti zionists don't mention genocidal regime of sri lanka, hmmm curious ". I wonder what her opinion is of the ltte.

Sri Lanka is participating in Operation Prosperity Garden, making them complicit in Palestinian genocide. I'm willing to bet this youtube either does not know, does not care or things it is good.
