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

"Vegan" Zionists are unfortunately not as uncommon as you'd think...

I can't imagine the type of mindset it takes to think that Palestinians are less worthy of life then animals.

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 42 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I notice that, believe it or not, sometimes veganism attracts the "facts and logic" kind of people who can come to somewhat of a principled, philosophical understanding as to why they should support veganism by thinking it out for a bit, but in that thought process, they forget that veganism is also fundamentally rooted in opposing oppression systemically. It's not a coincidence that radical animal liberation orgs tend to be explicitly leftist or even simply that leftism and veganism oftentimes go hand-in-hand.

Liberal Zionists are, very often, the insufferable trendy kind that think they're smarter than everyone else because they have a subscription to the New York Crimes.

The first big-ish vegan YouTuber I stumbled across turned out to be misogynistic and transphobic. Like, way more than the average Westerner. It was kinda jarring after most of the vegans I'd met IRL, all but one of whom were lovely.

Calling for genocide based on diet is an actual thing. See any reddit comment thread about dog meat

[–] a_little_red_rat@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

I was semi-active in some animal liberation circles and the amount of Zionists and "centrists" ("noo don't cut XYZ off, they are a good activist, can't we put politics aside???") is disgusting. But while it has its heart in the right place opposing animal commodification, vegan activism has always been thoroughly lib, so not exactly surprising.

How can you support Muslims when they celebrate eid al Adha angry-hex

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago (3 children)

You joke, but George Martin of an Instagram page titled "carnism_debunked" has effectively unironically made this argument:

[CW: Islamophobic "Vegan" Zionist Garbage]

if one is sabotaging Israeli activists and their activism due to Israeli attitudes and government actions, shouldn't the same be said of Palestine and the backward attitude of many Palestinians towards animals and human rights issues?

Jesus fucking Christ...

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

We shouldn't support Palestine as vegans because Pakistan oppresses women

We cannot allow Americans to hold signs advocating for an end to poverty while children are being shot in the head for going to school

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

We cannot allow Americans.

I can’t believe the Game of Thrones dude would say such things
