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

Yeah so European Ashkenazi Israeli's dominate politics and the economy in Israel and systematically racialize and discriminate against African and Middle Eastern Jews of Magrehbi, Middle Eastern, Yemeni, Beta Israel, and Sephardic heritage. The degree of discrimination has varied over time but intra-Jewish racism has been a fact of Israeli life since the declaration of the state. Zionism is fundamentally a European settler-colonial fascist ideology, a european or white supremacist ideology, and that continues to be reflected in the racialization of brown Jewish people in Israel.

Recognizing and learning about this history of intra-Jewish racism and discrimination is important because it directly strikes against Zionism's claim that Israel is a Jewish that that represents all Jewish people and is the only authentic voice of Jewish people. In reality Israel is not monolithic.

Yeah, I heard just the other day about Israeli physicians injecting Beta Israel (i.e. Ethiopian) Jews with medroxyprogesterone acetate, a long-term contraceptive, without their informed consent. It reminds me of what the Danish government did in Greenland in the '60s and '70s, giving thousands of Inuit IUDs without their consent.

Or what the U.S. did to...

A whole mess of different groups, Puerto Ricans, Native Americans, Black folk, the poor

Or what Norway did to the Romani and LGBT people and the mentally disabled and yadda yadda yadda if we're listing groups that Euro-American governments have forcefully sterilized we'll be here all day. I just wanted to highlight Greenland's spiral case in particular because it's only now getting an official investigation, Denmark is one of those countries that progressive Seppos like to hark on about how great it is, and IUDs like MPA do not permanently remove the ability to conceive a child — which means that deniers would only be lying by omission when they say "[group members] were never forcefully sterilized".

In Finland this is still done to disabled people without their real consent. Sure it is a pill and not some injection, but people who have to live in institutions or care homes are still routinely given contraceptives without their consent.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is new to me, please go on or send some links.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

This is something I have heard anecdotally from healthcare workers in my life who have told me that contraceptives are routinely given to disabled women with for example the logic that they cannot take care of their menstrual hygiene themselves. Which for some is probably true, but in these privatized care homes this tends to not be negotiated on an individual level. So while on paper the sterilizations have ended, these people are often still not choosing this themselves. Disabled women still have to justify having children of their own. This is what I mean with "real consent".

[–] [email protected] 63 points 10 months ago

That's what broke me out of the idea that there was anything good or justifiable about Israel. If Israelis were willing to do eugenics to Jewish people then all the bullshit about it being a Jewish state and a safe place for Jewish people was lies. I literally thought "This is Nazi shit" and that shattered the spell.

Yeah, I sort of know a married couple of Israelis bcs they're family friends, and they left Israel about five or six years ago (despite both actually being born there iirc (or it might have been that the husband was born there and the wife immigrated there, I can't really remember)) because of the level of anti Russian racism that the wife was experiencing

It's wild how the Israeli simultaneously has an exaggerated hook nose while having skin and hair paler than a Scandinavian's.

When a bigot wants to see an otherfied group's stereotype's indicators and also wants to jack off to their own spank bait indicators at the same time. galaxy-brain

Yes Matthew I'm sure that the verified twitter user with a frenworld avatar is a campus leftist.

This twitter freak posted the "Shop peddling Jew lies" image that made the rounds here a few days ago, so...

They're some weirdass nazi

[–] [email protected] 68 points 10 months ago

there's a concerted effort from the right wing to emphasize whiteness and violated white womanhood on israel's behalf---not anything coming from the left lmao

volcel-vanguard may be a running site joke but it also exists for a reason.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Lots of people complaining about the volcel police forget that this is their raison d’etre

I remember a woman showing off her guillotine tattoo on the subreddit and she got bombarded by creepy sexual comments. From that day on I have uncritical support for the @[email protected]

No it's about creating an atmosphere where FLINTA* posters feel welcome without being sexualized by coomers all the time

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

I always believed its genesis was in the whole “all politics is sexual pathology” meme when we’d make fun of all the people somehow using sexual relationships to explain politics (or otherwise just being horny over politicians). Like the “Bernie sanders is my abusive boyfriend” girl and all the horny right-wing fan art of hot trump, or the obsession with aoc’s feet among people that otherwise hated her. Or whatever this is.

i will continue to complain about them, i do think it shuts down innocent stuff sometimes, but i absolutely recognize why they exist and respect that

[–] [email protected] 60 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Why does the Israeli woman have a giant schnooze and no chin while the Palestinian has a petite nose and sharp jaw? Also, why are they both necessarily in military outfits?

Like, fuck Matt Chappedass but also who drew this and why are they trying to make a brutal civil war and genocide look horny?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago

Obviously you make brutal war and genocide look horny to help with the repopulation effort after it's over, duh.

Some fucked up AI model made this

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

I refuse to give AI credit for this level of blasphemy

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago

That's why I included the CW

What does a jew look like? Idk man, like, a white person with wavy hair I guess? But I've gotta make sure I remember to draw the ginormous nose

[–] [email protected] 43 points 10 months ago

I deeply regret seeing this image

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago

Maybe the "campus leftists" think that because Israel keeps it's whitest most feminine soldiers at the forefront of their PR campaign while actively trying to racialize Palestinians

I thought that was Yang from RWBY being used in some weird geopolitical doujin.

This better not be the cool Matt Chapman.

e: It isn't.
