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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

Then what were they rallying for?
"We support the current thing"
The current thing is genocide
Based on what I've seen on social media all but the most mask off will make all sorts of bad faith claims an dance around when confronted about this. Usually it boils down to "the solution is for Hamas to surrender". Apparnetly doesn't matter that Israel was doing genocidal actions against Palestinians before Hamas's existance, or that they are doing them currently in the West Bank. Immaterial.
Doesn’t appear to be America…
You’re right about that, but I think implying they are Americans only lessens the impact of the statement. Better to say it’s the American ideals. People from London are not American but a significant portion of them are indeed poisoned by ideals of the country, which is the problem.
On that note, I’d normally call similar things a western belief but in this instance it’s such a predominately American vs overall western idea right now that genocide is fine that it’s hard to call it anything but.
I thought the islamophobia was invented by Europeans, it's kind of a tradition from the middle ages or so. Being genocidal against the target is just the next step

Is it a call for genocide if you support an already ongoing genocide 🤔🤔🤔🤔
maybe they just really like holding up signs
