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

0 calls for genocide

Then what were they rallying for?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 67 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"We support the current thing" my-hero

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 52 points 2 years ago

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.

Is it a call for genocide if you support an already ongoing genocide 🤔🤔🤔🤔

EVERY single photo of zionist demonstrations I've seen so far are made up EXCLUSIVELY of white people. I saw clips of zionist crowds in objectively diverse cities like London, NYC, Sao Paulo, Berlin: trying to spot a poc is like playing where's waldo (still haven't found him)

There was a zionist rally of around a hundred people in my city after the Oct 7th attacks. I live in a 53% non-white city in New England. So looking out my window and seeing a 100% white crowd marching downtown was pretty uncanny

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

God and that was right after the attacks too, where you could sort of forgive an uninformed person for being fooled.

[–] Iceman@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 2 years ago

Under 50 people in attendance aswell.

Supporters of a cop state thanking the cops. lol. lmao. Lick boots, but don't fucking brag about it. Fuck offdata-laughing

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 60 points 2 years ago

They say "0 firecrackers shot at the police" as if it's a good thing

[–] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago

0 calls for genocide at our "Oh god please continue to help Israel do a genocide, please give them more weapons and funding to obliterate every Palestinian off the face of the Earth" rally

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

150,000 pro-Palestine protestors, there were 29 arrests.

In the video I count maybe 200 pro-Israel protestors. Just with rounding they could be 20x more likely to be arrested and still wouldn't have a single arrest.

I've got no doubt the pro-Palestine lot are more likely to be arrested, but as we say in the scientific community, the population of genocide supporters, n, was insufficient to draw significant conclusions. To draw such a pitiful crowd in a population centre of over 2 million is pretty bad showing.

The police reported the ~~protesters~~ bootlickers thanked them for their service. It wasn't a protest, it was a rally for people who think killing arabs is cool

Low sign energy! Like I can barely make anything out. And it's all so inorganic and bland. They all look so inconvienced for being there.

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Their numbers are also fucking pathetic in comparison lmao. London had 150,000 for Palestine at a single point in time

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like they're still there in the third image.

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

what the hell are they protesting? their country is funding the genocide already

[–] kkitsuragisleftnut@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Either a complete lack of critical thinking ability or just shamelessly disingenuous. The result is the same.

The smugness of white people is almost worse than their bloodlust
