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

existing as a palestinian or recognizing the humanity of palestinians is in fact, anti-zionist. according to the transitive property of zionism, everything anti-zionist is anti-semitic. therefore, this older woman just going about her work is mathematically TurboHitler5000.

This person would probably do that too.

keffiyehs aren't even political or specifically Palestinian. They're not even specific to Arab people, like I know Iranians and Afghans who wear them. One Iranian girl I know wore a keffiyeh as part of her school uniform.

"Being Palestinian in my general vicinity is a hate crime"

They're just incredibly fashionable tbh

I think they meant the ring tone of a pager. Presumably because any person who supports Palestine will have some sort of PTSD-like reaction to a reminder that consumer electronics were turned into bombs in ~~Jordan~~ Lebanon?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lebanon, not Jordan, unless something happened while I was asleep.

What is making it political I wonder? thonk

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You think they would've said something before Oct 7th?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 month ago

They were crying their crocodile tears over "Free parking" signs (alarmingly close to "Free Palestine") well before the Al-Aqsa Flood. Of course they would.

I hope the person who wrote this gets smothered with thousands of keffyeh. Like an entire truck load of them spills on them and they struggle to get out and get tangled up and overheat and die.

"At the same time, if I wore a kippah that said, "fuck Muslims," on it, that would not be okay."

Yeah those two are both on the same level.

This is an acute overdose of "I wish nazis, BLM protestors, and the LGBT community could all coexist" brain.

Our medical professionals, everyone. 50% of them were in the bottom 50% of their class, and it shows.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (2 children)

it's not just the bottom 50%... the majority of doctors are out-of-touch morons with a superiority complex, the fact they are often from rich backgrounds and have never been told no shows constantly. the fact they are on this pedestal in society like priests were in the past needs to end. they are just some guy.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

the fact they are often from rich backgrounds and have never been told no shows constantly.

Exactly! And this plays into why half of them don’t need to try that hard in school either. As long as they graduate it’s not what they know it’s who they know.

nurse who refuses to use gauze because it's political

Holy shit, that whole sub... that's just sad.

I did a bit of research on Judaism to reconcile with zionism/anti-semitism and all that, and I saw how different it is from zionism, and that zionism is actually more anti-semitic than being anti-zionist etc.

But imagine if you knew nothing about it, and then went on r/Jewish. You would be getting the WRONG impression for sure.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Looked against my better judgement, you weren't kidding. These reddit-logoers are completely buying into the antisemitic lies equating the genocidal fascist state of Israel with Judaism as a whole.

It's a shame. Judaism actually has a lot of really cool attitudes and lessons to it, at least, some interpretations. It's such an old religion that it can't be described as a monoloth any more than Islam can. I think it's really important for the Left to hold onto this fact and defend our Jewish comrades who are bravely going against the grain in their communities.

fucking awful comments, holy shit

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

Looking at zionists and it's like "holy shit, are you trying to make people become antisemitic?" If I believed everything said by zionists about Judaism, that would mean I was antisemitic.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

That is one of the most cursed threads I've read in a while, holy shit

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (11 children)

I did, for a split second, read that as "Mech wearing a keffiyeh" and that's now something I need to make a sketch of.

edit: nvm I shoulda known RetroGrade Minis would have it

The funny thing is, and I think everyone should or probably knows already, keffiyehs aren't just a Palestine thing, let alone Levant thing... they're in Iraq and Yemen...

They're an accepted part of their cultural attire, not simply a political statement... so the reddit OP over here is showing their ass by complaining about this... lmao

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago

Daamn if this pisses off zionists that much I should get one too

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago

Classic zionist crybully tactics classic

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago

I feel like it's healthy to read shit like this from time to time. It helps remind you that you can be a perfectly reasonable person minding your own business and a bad day might still be trying to have you. There are crybabies who want to make it your problem. You're never going to be able to read their mind and even if you did it'd be as if you possessed the cypher that allows you to read the necronomicon and be cursed with it's arcane knowledge. They're simply trying to make your day worse.

These are the people saying that being against genocide is anti semitic, actually. Racist to the core

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

There is a reckoning coming for the medical industry.

This makes me want to buy a keffiyeh even though it's not exactly my style
