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's a special place in hell for rainbow imperialists

Also not in my name either you pieces of shit.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 year ago

Gosh, I wonder why people being genocided by an army marching under a rainbow flag might react with hostility? 🤔

What even is blowback? 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

In the comments some idiot is quoting the Torah as evidence that Judaism is inherently more tolerant of trans people than Islam and no one is mentioning the Torah is a holy book in both Judaism and Islam

It is my understanding that Iran covers costs of transition whereas Israel doesn't because their definition of gender dysphoria is too strict. Until earlier this year, Israel authorized only one guy for bottom surgeries for trans women, so the wait lists are very long. In 2008, the BBC claimed Iran carried out the second most sex change operations in the world behind Thailand.

Iran carried out the second most sex change operations in the world behind Thailand.

We should share that factoid more often, learning that muh Iran islamist dictatorship has better trans policies than any of their oh so grand democracies would fry a lot of liberal brain.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Iran does it because they think it cures homosexuality lol

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Ok, but still, pointing out that none of the western countries can be bothered to have better trans care than Iran would either make them think or cope and seethe.

Not exactly the big W anyone should be looking for, as far as arguing against libs goes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's strange, of course the context is important and can't be ignored by pointing to figures without explanation. Yet if LIB have a greater understanding and it comes from the right place, what good reason could there be for a lack of progress on their end? That there is too much freedom and that means certain fundamental rights and unambiguous (scientifically speaking, ofc scientific consensus at one point in the past had conversion therapy as its preferred method, there can be deferral to moral and ethical considerations in such cases) truths get caught in the crossfire because of freeze-peach

The more I try to think about it the more contradictions there are...

Judaism is inherently more tolerant of trans people than Islam

Even if that was true that's not why people are opposing what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians you dipshits monke-rage

Liberals boil it down to being about whether "the Jews" or "the Muslims" are more virtuous and more deserving of sympathy as groups stalin-stressed

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

How much people deserve human rights is completely to how much they agree with the ideology of me, the liberal

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

thats funny, passages from I think Leviticus are the ones that are typically whipped out about how naughty crossdressing is.

jokes on those losers, i'm not crossdressing 💅

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago

does iof has a mechanism for differentiating queer people when targeting gaza? no, they slaughter indiscriminately.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago

respond with a picture of a muslim and a jew who are married, demand a similar picture from israel. alternate: a picture of a same-gender married couple, same demand.

So I'm just supposed to uncritically up a bunch of genocidal colonizers committing literal genocide while bearing a flag of one of my communities as a stark-and-obvious part of the standard of their genocide? No fuckin surprise Palestine is considered 'homophobic' if Israeli settlers are pulling this shit; if I saw that shit coming to try and take my house, I'd have to press some caps too.

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

Don't mind me, just idpoling my way out of an active genocide

CW: violence, murder, homophobiaSomeone on here literally posted like 2 weeks ago a horrific quote from some book where some iof shithead gleefully recounts killing a "terrorist" who was fucking another "terrorist" (they kept using an israeli word to dehumanize them) and how when the first one got shot the other one freaked out and how HILARIOUS it was.

I remember that comment but cannot find it so far. I want to say the word was "merhabim" or close

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

MeHabel (sing) MeHablim (pl.) is the usual modern Hebrew for terrorist/s

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

CW: murder, homophobia, violenceIt wasn't simply that it was hilarious, it was that they killed one during intercourse. He got off on the fact that the remaining person had to deal with his partner being dead while they were still having sex. What a fucking disgusting thing to revel in.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago

Oh you mean that thing they changed like last week to distract the west from their now 15,000 kill total? 😂

The penalty for being a Palestinian child in Israel is death

We need more queer people doing ethnic cleansing amerikkka-clap

Israel doesn't think much of lgbt people either and their propaganda mocking them shows that

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

death is the penalty for living in Gaza without the IDF's permission, so frankly a little homophobia seems irrelevant.

also lmao the country they're thinking of is Saudi Arabia, an Israeli ally. Palestine hasn't had criminal penalties for homosexuality for decades.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Palestine hasn't had criminal penalties for homosexuality for decades.

Wait until they find out that 12 states have sodomy laws on the books and there are active campaigns to get them ruled as constitutional so they can be enforced again.

Ethno-nationalism instead of anti-capitalism is definitely the solution to both homophobia and antisemitism.

Homonationalism is the absolute worst and anyone who falls for it is too

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

palestine is a country then is it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Funny for someone that most certainly be one of the next targets of the fascists running Israel if they are able to succeed in their mission to purge the world of Palestinians. The same applies to all the token LGBTQIA+ folks that support the right in the US. They (these fucking idiots in both the US and Israel) are just useful while moderates/centrists are doing their fence sitting and calling the left as "the same". After the point of masks no longer being needed to take over, the token folks will be purged all the same.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

the penalty for that in Muslim countries is death

Mask-off terminology alert
