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.

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
edgy fash offsiters try to be functionally different from any other lemmitor challenge [NIGHTMARE DIFFICULTY]
Already saw that lol, contemptible stuff
Wondered why that's the only flag that gets censored? Religious brainworms or worse? Don't really care.
Also a double "one of these things is not like the others" with Russia being the only one of the states that isn't settler colonialist garbage. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's going on with these symbols.
For obvious reasons a burning star of david may make our Jewish comrades uncomfortable.
We literally have a
flag too, and there's no open social democrats here because they'll either get made fun of or banned for being a fascist
We have
too but I don't think we have burning flags of any colonized countries or Iran.
Hard agree here, though I will say we're pretty nuanced about giving critical support when the enemy is the greater satan.
There's a lot of issues with Iran's government, but at the end of the day that itself is a product of the US's own actions and at this point I think the vast majority of hexbear users would be rooting for a US aircraft carrier getting denazified in that event.
Right that was where I was coming from on Russia. Smashing the barely livable post USSR state because reactionaries are in power doesn't solve shit. Hell we got here by smashing the Ukrainian state with BLACKROCK but now I'm just trying to be clever
I totally get that, the modern Russian state is itself a product of western meddling and I have a really hard time being in spaces around liberals here in the west because of their open russophobia.
There's lots of issues with social reaction, but at least they're not evangelical about it. Half of the US is openly more reactionary towards trans people at this point.
It is the "israeli" flag being burnt. You don't get to decide if it should have the star. Iirc people did report being made uncomfortable when the emoji had it for, again, obvious reasons. Other symbols don't have the same weight of persecution in modern history as the star does.
What the fuck does this even mean
This is ridiculous. You pretending that is the Israeli flag does not make it the Israeli flag lol.
You're just arguing semantics now. Anyone with a brain can tell that's the "israeli" flag, just without the symbol zionists put in it to weaponize anti-semitism.
Somehow I think this has a lot more to do with the accusation of antisemitism being weaponized successfully, if you're going to combat the allegations of antisemitically burning the Israeli flag by taking them seriously and using a make believe flag instead lol
You dumb mother fucker it was a Jewish person here who has asked for it to not be added.
Did you just roll dice and pick a tendency? I would appreciate if you refrain from the inane
This is pretty devastating to me so I hope you reconsider. Our relationship has been something incredible
That's giving Nazis way too much power and legitimacy.
Also I don't think a religious group known for being historically persecuted is comparable to a nation state.The Israeli flag isn't censored because we are afraid of hurting Israeli feelings it's because we've already been accused of anti-Semitism and don't want to fan that flame when avoidable. It's also out of respect for Jews obviously.
On another note, hexbear isn't exactly known for supporting Ukraine lmao
Also I had a look through your profile bc I do that with usernames I recognize. I noticed you will comment a lot of very well thought out and cited pieces and then the next comment is pure trolling or banter. I'm curious if you've been drunk posting or if you just be like that. Lots of removed comments to be curious about as well.
Don't you think it's giving Nazis a little bit too much power and legitimacy for people to justify feeling uncomfortable around burning Israeli flags because they contain the Star of David? Way to make an ongoing genocide about their pearl clutching lmao.
god fuck please let me have the emote that at best might not immediately be spammed by wreckers, ive been on the site 3 days so i can 12 angry men this shit if needed
I bet your face looks like a testicle
Half the world's Jewish population resides in the Zionist entity and half outside, I don't think that we've reached a saturation point where burning a star of David is appropriate in societies that are still genuinely antisemitic like the US, England, etc. Who cares, it gets the point across ¯\(ツ)/¯ Death to Israel
It's clearly acceptable to burn that flag you idiot, we're just able to replace the symbol easily because it's jpegs online so who gives a shit, in the real world you're incredibly appropriate to burn it even if you reside on some other racist entity like the UK, US, etc. Maybe you're shielded from it but some people still experience actual antisemitism, not this Zionist coddling bullshit, and their concerns are worth noting and integrating.
The biggest problem with the burning star of David is it evokes a very specific part of the holocaust, not just contempt for the country of Israel like the rest of the cool flags. Not even using the flag also specifically identifies it as not a real country - it's is a military cosplaying a state.
The main reason for it is that we get fascist trolls sometimes and we'd rather not have them spamming it.
I think you are vastly underestimating the number of burning flag emojis we have.
It's very funny how much you're willing to assume while knowing absolutely nothing about us lol. Fascist wreckers are a real thing. Also burning the Israeli flag isn't antisemitic. We just don't want the potential for misuse.
If you're going to immediately jump to conclusions and accusations with zero investigation like some redditor then we don't really want you here.
Is that why you have like a dozen comments accusing us of shit?
Reply all you want, but you don't then get to play the, "Actually I don't even care about this
" card afterwards.
By you? Yes.
You're the made up one-off guy, lol. Why does your opinion on anything matter?
You're weird
we do get a lot of low effort posters and fascists. case in point
