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

Can't wait for Chinese memes to flood the international market
"You think Chinese can't get on foreign sites? The fire wall is for your protection. Once it's opened, you will know what cyberbullying really means."
Reminds me of this fear propaganda:
Lmao is that a toy AK?
Lol yes.
Child Soldier to uphold our neo-nazi government: Wholesome chungus!
Child Soldier fighting for his life against neo-nazi zionists: Bad wrong sad
The median age in Gaza is is 17.7 for boys and 18.4 for girls, this is standard Hamas age because this is standard Gaza age. But they don't want to hear that whoever gave the child a gun is also a child
The median age in Gaza is is 17.7 for boys and 18.4 for girls,
bleak
This is why even though watching Hamas own the IDF is cool and funny it’s always sad. These are children fighting for their lives.
I'm afraid to ask, but I've seen this statistic a few times. What was happening 19 years ago? Why was everyone fucking? Or is it that only children survived something?
I wonder about this myself and would love an informed answer.
My guess, is that because of constant "lawn mowing" older Gazans were killed off at a disproportionate rate, massive poverty tends to increase birth rates, family planning supplies or medications were hard to come by, constant "lawn mowing" convinced people to have more children in the hopes that some of them survive, and pollution or other environmental factors causing premature deaths.
That's just a guess though, and I hope someone with more knowledge chimes in.
they were not fucking more 19 years ago AFAIK, palestinians just almost never survive to adulthood because of concentration camp living conditions and constant IOF bombing.
median is a cummulative statistic. it doesn't mean there are more 19 year olds -- it means half of all people are below the age of 19. my understanding is that it's so low because the likelihood of surviving to older ages are poor.
What an embarrassing misunderstanding of median. At best I was imagining some sort of ordinance of deciding to make more children. How disgusting their situation is. It breaks my heart.
yep, no worries. the one you were thinking of is mode
She gets more racist the darker their skin is. Can only imagine what her opinions on child soldiers in Africa are.
Probably that they spring fully formed from the soil with AKs growing out of their hands
What an awful gun to hand a kid, bet she can barely aim it due to it's weight
A 16 or 20 gauge semi-auto shotgun with plastic furniture is actually a great starter gun for a kid. I know many folks that teach their kids to hunt water-fowl for food with a 20 gauge semi-auto shotgun. If money is no object, you can get them as light as 5lbs (~2.26 KG) but most would be in the 6-7 lbs (2.5-3KG) range.
Hm idk if that's plastic or not. All metal seems a problem to me
Metal grips is not a typical thing.
That seems to be a pump no?
"child"
not a gun guy but i've played enough shooters to know that's a pump shotty and not a rifle (right?)
Mildly disappointed that the gun bros who get triggered when someone calls a mag a clip aren't jumping up and down in the comments of that first pic like a pack of rabid baboons.
😌
Propaganda > gunbroism
I got triggered by that, but I'm not your bro, buddy. /joke
Yeah, they probably just snagged a picture of a girl on a farm looking after sheep or some shit.
Just pointing out that pump action rifles do exist, but they're not very common because pump actions are for firing quickly instead of accurately. Pumping the action takes a lot away from aim instead of something like a bolt action.
Rifled shotguns also exist, but I don't think that kid is holding one.
Also I believe this photograph was taken by her father and he should be skinned alive for putting his daughter into a combat zone like this.
It's a semi-auto 16 or 20 gauge shotgun with a mag-tube extension. It's not a pump shotgun.
🤨
hex minds bear alike
i dont know anything about guns - i've literally never even touched one - and even i can tell the gun in the top pic is a shotgun
