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

God I hate this shit. Ffs Amy it is LITERALLY A CRIME TO VOICE SUPPORT FOR PALESTINIANS IN SEVERAL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. THERE ARE TWO FUCKING CARRIER BATTLE GROUPS ON THEIR WAY TO GAZA AND THE US IS EMPTYING IT'S STORES SO ISRAEL CAN KEEP DOING GENOCIDE. SHUT THE ENTIRE FUCK UP.

No, no, she's right. Chuck Schumer's nepo baby celebrity millionaire niece, who lives in a giant mansion in Los Angeles, is the real victim of worldwide oppression.

Ironically, the USSR was one of i believe two nations in the entire world that did not have strict quotas on the number of Jewish refugees allowed to enter. While every other country in the west turned Jewish people away to die in the camps, the USSR took in something like 1 or 1.5 million Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis.

And after the war, when everyone knew much much the Jewish people of Europe had suffered, the US and UK balked at accepting Jewish refugees. But hey, uhhhh… how about you move to some land over here in the Middle East.

The creation of Israel was basically a voluntary Madagascar Plan (voluntary only on the part of the settlers, I mean).

Russia created an eastern jewish oblast, likely as part of a plan to populate the east. If that had became the Jewish state, the world might not be in this predicament.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

Yeah. It never really took off. It was way way far away from anything. It did have a pretty cool Yiddish culture during it's heyday though. afaik there were two things going on - Folks didn't want to live on the far side of the eastern edge of the world, and I think a lot of Soviet Jewish people were very secular and not that excited about having a Jewish admin area.

Unironically, because women had income and the right to divorce, they reported more pleasure from sex in communist countries. Communists are just hotter.

The only thing I have ever heard in regards to the black community is how she wants to have a relationship with a black man for social humiliation.

She made jokes about not dating poc because she likes "men who have a job." Attending peaceful protests and posting shit on Instagram doesn't automatically make you an ally, especially when you base your career around making fun of those various groups for cheap laughs.

Her joke about Latine men was even worse than that, as i remember

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it was that she likes consensual sex. Bitch is a walking L and has the nerve to demand that people take her seriously. I'd be a lot more inclined to if she was capable of making original jokes and used some creativity instead of hack shock-jock quality humor.

You stand alone if you ignore the military might of the entire white western world, the entire media apparatus of the white western world, and the entire population of neoliberals in the white western world. So yeah pretty alone if you ignore all that

Well she does feel alone then, since it's only ghouls, hard to find human warmth there

We sent an aircraft carrier to backup Israel. We've given nearly $250 billion over the years to Israel. We are the ones supplying the bombs that are destroying Gaza, which is a concentration camp. There's walls all around it and the waters are patrolled by Israeli boats. We made that possible.

This is literally just the “in this house we believe” sign. It’s certainly not a chronological account like the original poem.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Its an abomination created by fusing those cringe lib "in this house signs" with the "first they came for..." poem, not the actual poem, but the way libs half remember it. Presented by the niece of the Senate Majority Leader.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you have to deal with libs and that poem - let them know something that changes the context of poem completely. The writer called Hitler an "instrument sent by god" and he was only worried about the Nazis after they came for his church.

Holocaust Memorial Day Trust | Pastor Martin Niemöller

Like many Germans at the time, Niemöller believed that the Nazis and Hitler would provide strong leadership to make Germany a powerful and respected nation again. He also saw the Nazi party as a way for Germany to return to the Christian morals he thought had been abandoned, even referring to Hitler as an ‘instrument sent by god’. Niemöller’s eventual split with the Nazi party came when they started to control the German Protestant Church.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 62 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don’t think they care about any of that. Bringing up the fact that the US removed “communists” from its version is more interesting because they didn’t want people to sympathize with communists massacred by fascists.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don’t think they care about any of that.

I don't know what they care about but...

We care. But I don't think they care about that at all. In fact - I'd bet money on it.

Well yes that's very much what the text of the poem is about

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Libs don't know the context. They think of him ~~as a good guy~~ as a neutral observer who didn't know better.

[Edit: I realize now a "good guy" is wrong.]

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I interpreted the poem as a former nazi sympathiser growing to understand why what he did was wrong

Lol so this little remix of the poem is all about how you’re so righteous but no one likes you (for reasons that are fictional), meanwhile the original poem is about how undesirables are thrown to the dogs until it’s your turn. Very classy.
