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

Who would have thought the guy who took a year to gush over the Japanese Imperial army, was a chud?

Its history.
It's hardcore.
It's really mean of the Palestinians to fight back.

![paulie-point](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/83ec375d-b9d2-4827-ba99-d2460edd448b.png "emoji paulie-point") What the Japanese did when they suicide bombed American naval carriers was an act of immense bravery, fueled by dire circumstances that pushed the warriors to make the greatest of sacrifices. Palestinians fighting back is different, because I don't think they're cool or based.

Edit: Should probably make it clear I in no way think the Palestinians fighting against Israel is comparable to what the japanese did in WWII. I just think it's kinda telling that a guy who has spent 20+ hours glamorizing the japanese for fighting a "lost cause", somehow thinks it's wrong for the palestinians to fight a fight he thinks they have no chance of winning.

Again just treating Palestinians like they ought to be happy to be treated like cattle, combined with the illusion that if they never resisted, there is a positive outcome at the end of the tunnel for them.

If there is no positive outcome for them from this, then there is no positive outcome for them no matter what, and since this guy is a fucking pop historian asshole he 100% has at some point in time valorized the idea of "we can at least choose when and how we will die, and show our oppressors that we do not fear them." Its just crypto-zionist bullshit.

If the cattle would calmly line up for the slaughter then they wouldn’t be getting the prod, now would they?
