Just saw this shared on Facebook and had to point out that Hamas has been calling for an end to the war this entire time and doing so again now means that their stance hasn’t changed.

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

hey maybe im just feeling kinda down rn but is there any point to reading tons of shit and being smart if it just means you will be crushingly lonely and alienated because everyone you meet topped out at one fish two fish
No doomerism! 😤 I know shit sucks right now, but this is the time to radicalize libs. A lot are despondent and looking for something to do and some explanation. With all that reading, you have an explanation to offer them. We got this!
This is the way.
For what it's worth: I think most of those people are also crushingly lonely and alienated...because those things are due to material conditions more than what you've read.
Reading tons of shit and educating yourself doesn't make you any more lonely and alienated so much as it helps you correctly diagnose and identify the source of those things. Also doesn't give you any sort of special power/ability to fix it on your own though.
I don't blame you for feeling that way though, without being in a proper organization it can feel really depressing and like nobody gets it, and that there's no way to start these conversations. I really recommend finding whatever org exists in your area and getting connected, even if it's a bit far out of your way for now. For me, being in a revolutionary org has been able to keep my revolutionary optimism strong, and I'm not so scared or frustrated. I'm in the PSL but I've heard good things about FRSO and the DSA as always.
thanks i guess the dooming just took over for a while
No it be like that sometimes
Trump should read that from beginning to end at one of his rallies.
We took a look. We saw a Nook.
On his head he had a hook.
On his hook he had a book.
On his book was "How to Cook" We saw him sit and try to cook
But a Nook can't read, so a Nook can't Cook.
SO...
What good to a Nook is a hook cook book?
where is the topical reference to Brian Hook
