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

Innocent civilians must be protected

big-honk Protected from what? Protected from who?

We're days away from articles like "A piece of lead exited a long metal tube and passed through the skull bone of a Palestinian mother. When asked, the IDF had no idea where lead like that might come from because lead isn't native to the region, and wasn't sure what long metal tube was being referred to. They speculated that the long metal tube was attached to a piece of wood that may have come from outside of the country and re-iterated this is why they need a stronger border policy but refused to comment further."

Moreover the wood probably came from a tree grown by Hamas!

Or shorter "woman in Israel involved in the shooting, dies"

New innovations in passive voice

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago (2 children)

We've somehow found an even more exonerative tone than "Officer involved shooting"

Hospital involved blast

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

It would be better if she said this lmao, as her current post doesn't even mention Israel or the IDF.

The bullet which killed that unarmed kid

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You could even twist that to make the victim sound guilty: "The person that died after being involved in the shooting"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

incredible innovation

We condemn the four fundamental forces for their role in the death of hundreds of innocent civilians

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I've noticed you commented without first condemning the fundamental laws of thermodynamics for their inevitable role in the heat death of the universe.

It's just like that self-aware eversplosion from Xavier Renegade Angel. It's just alive okay? It just goes around and kills people. No one's responsible

Sentient bullets and cruise missiles are roaming Gaza, more at 8

warren-snake Genocidal snake is also a weasel

[–] [email protected] 38 points 11 months ago

if you say the "I(eye) word" it's anti semitism.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 11 months ago

I strongly condemn the actions of The Blast

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago

I've canceled my Patreon subscription to the blast, this is just bad optics, major yikes maybe-later-honey

Hosptial: "So anyway, i started blasting"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I wonder how long the conversation was where they landed on calling it "the blast"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A bunch of lanyard-americans were paid more money than any of us will ever make in our lives to come up with this bullshit

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Maybe. I'm not sure they're giving Liz access to the A-squad. I mean she did take that DNA test to discover she's like 1/34 indigenous then went public with the info thinking it would help not hurt her image.

My heart goes out to the people dead after the kinetic combustion incident

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

what's their spiel gonna be like when eventually, inevitably, Isn'treal arrives at the stage of their propaganda flowchart where they are forced to admit that they actually blew up the hospital?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

the bragging-about-exploding-a-hospital stage came and went about two minutes before the "oops it actually looks bad to explode a hospital" stage

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That’s usually the point where the news cycle has moved on and people are less likely to pay attention. They often don’t need a spiel at all.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

then it becomes "duh we all knew that already but they did that because terrorists were masquerading as sick children and doctors, anyway terrorists get what they deserve..." etc etc

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

I can't believe an 80s punk rock band from Santa Cruz, Cali did a war crime.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

Damn you blast!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

She’s such a fucking ghoul

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

What? Gee, after how vocal she was about the Bolivian 'not a' coup, this is totally out of character! 🙄

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

off topic but I just realized your pfp is one of the wet bandits and not lenin in a ushanka
