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

There should be a "white moderate" quote bot.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”

I'm OOL what is this code for?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 3 months ago (3 children)

So 🍉 is a representation of the Palestinian flag because it's banned in Israel so people have to use creative ways to represent it.

🔻is a representation of the red triangle used in the videos where Israeli tanks get blown up by a guy in flip flops running up and duct taping a cartoon bomb to them and running away unharmed

and the triangle has been legally banned in Germany as if it were on the same level as the swastika

Pretty messed up to ban a symbol your government used to identify one of its enemies (a particular political current) during an extermination project that targeted them, when it's heavily being used by the ideological descendants of those same political dissidents.

Thanks! I thought the triangle was like the triangle Nazi Germany used to identify communist prisoners.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

Solid guess, tbh

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought the triangle was for identifying queer people?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

they used different color triangles for different things, red triangle for political prisoners including comunists

Why the hell would anyone who’s pro-Palestine have an issue with blowing up some Israeli tanks? It’s not targeting civilians. Do they really think Netanyahu can be Marketplace of Ideas’d into giving Palestinians sovereignty or equal status?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago

I'm going to guess the divide between supporting non-violent resistance and violent resistance

I was thinking about this lately: that the Palestine issue would at some point devolve into identity politics for yt people while POC are left once again picking up where the yt moderates have dropped everything.

Some of yt people are for "free Palestine" but only POC (and even then it's a toss up if they're not liberals) are minecraft to Israel.

This was bound to happen, I just didn't think it would happen so soon.

Inside you there are 2 wolves

Free Palestine 🍉

Or

redacted-1 redacted-2 to Israel

The latter would never fall for this sham

Team hamas-red-triangle because if I die (like say, in 1984 Orwellian peepeepoopoo PIGPOOPBALLS South Africa), I also want to take some frothingfash PO PO to the grave for company. Gonna die even if "peacefully protesting", so might as well. Also quickly repurpose John Voerster's grave as a bathroom

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror

That tweet made the same day that Hamas and Fatah are reconciling in Beijing.

What keywords do I need to search for hamas-red-triangle content on Tik Tok? Asking for a friend.
