Took me a second to realize Ian Carrol, a man I’ve never heard of, is not in fact Dr. Aaron Carrol, pediatrician and health science communicator

It’s honestly insane that’s a real photo. If you drew that as a cartoon without there being a real photo everyone here would rightly call you antisemite

Those gums are fucking crazy, dude looks like a chimpanzee baring its teeth

The thing is, boycotts have never really worked.

BDS is modeled on methods that were successful in overthrowing South African apartheid. They worked then.

Has any government dropped Israel as a trading partner?

Yes, several, none of the large important ones though. Syria, Lebanon, and Iran, even prior to the current conflict, have no trade with Israel. I don’t believe Cuba or the DPRK do either. Most Arab states used to, but over the years were pushed by the Americans into normalizing relations.

Would it matter? The US and Germany seem to be supplying the entire arsenal of Israel and they most certainly are not going to stop because of some boycott.

The point is to disrupt the settler project. Israelis are the biggest treatlerites on the planet, making Americans look like they’ve contentedly taken a vow of poverty. If you disrupt the treats, it becomes a lot harder to get settlers to stay. If China supplies 8% of consumer goods that’s a large portion of the treats.

Sanctions also never really work unless it is american lead against a poor, small nation like Cuba or the DPRK.

Israel tiny country! Size of New Jersey!

Israel is the most important imperial tool they have.

Well I just fundamentally disagree with your analysis here, I think Israel causes the west far more trouble than it’s worth and is not even helpful for our imperial ambitions, along with causing internal collapse in the imperial core. The strait of Hormuz is closed because of Israel. Oil is approaching $200 a barrel because of Israel. Europeans are going to freeze to death this winter, because of Israel.

Has Iran even asked China for this? That's another thing i dislike about Hexbearians, y'all always try to be some saviour. Maybe let the actual anti-imperialists work together how they want?

The Palestinians have asked for this. BDS is a Palestinian movement, and this is in fact what they ask for.

He’s in Germany, but that means Germany is illegally harboring a war criminal and wherever he is is a valid military target, I hope they just hit him in Germany

Alright Pritzker, time to put your money where your mouth is and have every one of these fuckers arrested for kidnapping

As unattractive as communism to women? I gotta say, putting a Lenin meme, a ☭, and “Let’s overthrow the ruling class together ❤️” in my Bumble bio did not cause me any trouble getting dates. It honestly seemed like a big plus.

They put up chain-link fences underneath the biggest bridges
They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children
They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face
So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them
The south will not rise again
‘Til it’s paid for every sin

Quick question. When a country involved in a conflict is holding some of your citizens hostage and you’re considering which side of the conflict to join, do you help or attack the country holding your citizens hostage?

Personally if I were in charge that would be something that caused me to attack the hostage taker, not join their side.

Ron DeSantis sucks so bad that grade school teachers in China are going “Hey wtf is happening in Florida someone should kill this guy”

Oh i wasn’t aware they firebombed a Synagogue, that would be antisemitic!

What’s that? They firebombed a pro-genocide march full of people there because they are pro-genocide and not because of their religious or ethnic background?

Hey uh you’re not supposed to say that publicly? You do know that cyberattacks are considered an act of war right? And you’re not at war with Russia or China? Do you know that John? It’s important to me that you know that.

Bicycle Advice (hexbear.net)

Hello friends my spouse and I are moving to a relatively bikeable town but neither of us currently own bicycles (on account of not wanting to die on a rural highway). I know nothing about bicycles except for how to ride one.

Anyone have advice on what we should be looking for for bikes?

Details:

Spouse will be biking to work most days, about 15 minutes. They have some disability issues though and I think an e-bike would be really helpful for them to make the ride easier.

I will be driving a long distance if and when I get a job, but would still like a bike for around town, on weekends, running small errands etc. Grocery store is about 10 minutes biking, it would be nice to do a good amount of grocery shopping on bike. Hopefully the next place we move I’ll be able to bike to work, in which case I’ll definitely want an E-Bike because I’m the sweatiest person alive, so would ideally want something I could retrofit to an E-Bike if that’s a thing you can do?

No no he’s right. They should adopt policies based on popular public opinion. Things like:

Ending support to Israel

Universal healthcare

Student loan forgiveness

Vastly raising the minimum wage

Launching Elon Musk into the sun

Oh wait those weren’t the policies you meant were they

The shooting incident took place hours after officials said two Israeli Embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were shot and killed outside D.C.’s Capital Jewish Museum.

There is no evidence that the two incidents are linked.

Why the fuck did you bring it up then!?
