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

Yeah I just... while I'm not one of the people that's like "hell yeah hamas kill the kkkolonizers* ", I mean the US and Israel picked them and supported them because of how bad they are. But whenever I see a Hamas or other Palestinian militant group, regardless of how right wing they are, I can't help but think these are literally baby prisoners, these are the actual babies that survived being born and raised in a literal concentration camp
There's a video where they bust through the fence and start walking and half of them just start crying. Like what the fuck, it's so fucked up
*active settlers are not civilians
There is some tragedy with the settlers. When the Arab states exiled and robbed their Jewish populations after the declaration of Israel, they all ended up fleeing to Israel because no one else would take them. And Israel didn't want them, so after trapping them in refugee camps for years it sent many of them out to the frontiers to be, pardon the term, human shields between the Arabs and the European core. Some, certainly not all, settlers are the children of people exiled from their homes due to the actions of European colonizers, then sent off to be colonial meat-shields by those same European colonizers. That's got to result in some kind of fucked up attitude towards the world, and I doubt a lot of those people ever really had much of a chance to be normal.
We were talking somewhere else on hexbear about how none of these people were born monsters; it had to be beaten in to them to hate and want to hurt people. The first victims of imperialism, colonialism, apartheid, whatever, are the oppressor's own children, who have to be beaten in to the shape of oppressors before they can be turned against the oppressed.
Lol. The Europeans even forced a name on them. "Mizrahi". Easterners. Racialized on their arrival in to the newly declared ethnostate, and immediately weaponized in the same fashion as many other racialized groups had been before.
