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

Not beating the "this Zionist organization seems like something an antisemitic 4chan neonazi would come up with, as a joke" allegations

Wtf I love intifada even more now

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

Well a swiftie died of heat exhaustion in a badly organized concert in Rio, so I'm all for this intifada

jewbelong is such an odd name.

They’re entirely based around being provocative and making Zionism and Judaism synonymous. I used to drive by their billboards on my commute reading “your church doesn’t doesn’t need an armed guard, but our synagogue does” or something equivalent. Funnily enough, i have since seen both churches and mosques with armed guards

More bangers:

Is that last one real? Fucking hell

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

They deleted it after posting, but yes

This is depraved. I mean I know the whole “Israeli” operation is based on dehumanisation but something about this crass, hot pink, modern bold typeface, stupid org name combo is just hitting different. It’s ghoulish. Turning genocide into a sassy corporate marketing meme. I want to physically throw up

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Absolutely, it puts a spin on the crimes that most don’t even try to, much less doing it corporate Memphis style

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Based on how that's one of their favorite arguments for why it's not a genocide I'm amazed they deleted it/didn't keep it up

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Sometimes public pressure/people calling you a Nazi for saying “look we could totally exterminate them if we wanted” accomplish more than logic argumentation

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is so gross. I guess the Holocaust wasn’t a genocide because there were survivors.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

All their bullshit arguments could be easily weaponized against the Jewish community; they just don’t care because real antisemitism increases migration to “isreal”

I have seen billboards put up by these weirdoes.

Here are some pics from the web.

For that last one, isn't Jewish heaven and hell almost the same place? Do they not even know their own religion?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The old Jewish conception of the afterlife is Sheol, a dark subterranean cave where we all go upon death. Gehinnom is also described as a place of spiritual purification where the wicked are punished and atone for their sins for no more than 12 months, and without punishment on the Sabbath. It's unclear whether this is a place within Sheol, a separate place, or a literal actual valley west of Jerusalem into which people were exiled to atone for their sins.

As a kid, my Rabbi described it as something akin to a re-education camp where the wicked and greedy are brought to justice and begun down the path of redemption by way of labour and education on how their actions harmed others. Once their sentence is up, they either live on in remorse among the rest of us in Sheol, or their soul is destroyed if they are not remorseful.

God sounds awfully communist

I remember the last one, there was one in my city in late 2022 or early 2023, so before they went mask off. I always found it fairly amusing.

I cringed internally reading these.

They reminded me of the time when I revisited a convenience store and I noticed that an employée and an investigator were looking at her car together. I tried to amuse her by joking that I broke into her car. She didn’t hear me the first couple of times that I said it, so I repeated myself until the investigator shook his head at me and said ‘It’s not really funny.’ I looked like a deer in the headlights after he told me that. I scurried into the convenience store, got what I wanted, and then got away from it as quickly as possible.

I understood pretty quickly that I only made an ass out of myself by making light of a serious and ongoing situation, and at least I didn’t embarrass myself in front of hundreds or thousands of people. These dullards, on the other hand…

I guess it’s like “you belong” but ya fucking weird

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I got that but it sounds like a caricature or something out of a skit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

probably is...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

It sounds like it was either made by an out of touch corporate executive or a /pol/ack trying to run a psyop - perhaps both.

Rick Beato fanboys: “One intifada please”

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

These people are deranged. The terrorist plot was alleged to be planned by an Austrian supporter of ISIS. The Resistance-aligned countries are mortal enemies of ISIS, but this page counts on their audience not to know that.

Ethnic groups are a hive mind obviously, thinking differently is anti-Semitic
