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 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.

Then what were they rallying for?
"We support the current thing"
The current thing is genocide
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.
idk americans dont have opinions they sort of just get herded around like animals
Doesn’t appear to be America…
You really think the west has sovereignty besides being dogs of the empire? Its all america, from pacific to atlantic, corrupt as satan.
You’re right about that, but I think implying they are Americans only lessens the impact of the statement. Better to say it’s the American ideals. People from London are not American but a significant portion of them are indeed poisoned by ideals of the country, which is the problem.
On that note, I’d normally call similar things a western belief but in this instance it’s such a predominately American vs overall western idea right now that genocide is fine that it’s hard to call it anything but.
I thought the islamophobia was invented by Europeans, it's kind of a tradition from the middle ages or so. Being genocidal against the target is just the next step
We're all living in Amerika, Amerika est Wunderbar
Coca-cola, Wonderbra
maybe they just really like holding up signs
