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

Why don't they just put up their homes on the market and entertain a number of competing offers and even use their freedom of movement within Gaza and Israel at large to find a new house in a nice neighborhood? expert-shapiro maybe-later-honey maybe-later-kiddo

I swear we are like a week from some lib saying "Being Palestinian is inherently antisemitic because they're occupying land that rightfully belongs to the Jewish people"

[–] DrCrustacean@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Waaay past that. I saw "Irish people are genetically antisemitic" the other day in response to a poll about Irish youth supporting Palestine

"read settlers palestine is on stolen land"

It's funny that I used to think that racism was mostly on it's way out.

Yes just move away from your homeland that you're simultaneously been held in and having chunks stolen from you. Good fucking thinking.

It would still be stupid af but it would at least make some level of sense if there were a large number of countries offering citizenship and support to Palestinians. But they’re literally held captive and can’t leave. The borders are closed and there’s a heavily guarded wall around the whole place!

As a hwhite American the concept of having a “homeland” that you have historical ties to is something I don’t have a solid understanding of. I’ve never had that and I’ve mostly resented the places I grew up. I already wanted to move away from almost everywhere I’ve lived, and if you started dropping bombs I wouldn’t think twice about leaving. But Gazans aren’t allowed to leave.

To be clear I’m not trying to discount the concept of having a homeland you’re tied to, just wanted to point out it isn’t even a necessary part here because they’re held captive anyway.

I suppose I feel a real attachment to Chicago at this point. If it was being bombed regularly and I was able to leave with my family I certainly would though. Not totally related to your point, which I agree with, just hadn't really thought about it before.

it's the consistent position of loving ethnostates

clearly if russia sits on its current holdings in ukraine for another 74 years this guy will side with russia, right?

[–] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So what? They should go back where they came from?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And stop taking all the jobs!

[–] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Well it's either/or. Where they came from is where all the jobs are.
