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

The comic is literally just "Stop caring about the Palestinians or else you'll share their fate"

"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a communist. Then everything turned out fine for me, because sacrificing others to save my own skin totally worked."

We're on like

  • They came for black men
  • They came for undocumented people
  • They came for asylum seekers protected under US law
  • They came for indigenous water defenders
  • They came for some people who didn't want a "School of the Americas but for Cops" built in a park
  • They came for trans people
  • They came for Palestinians

There aren't many fucking people left but the Libs haven't taken the message yet.

I'd say they're like rats on a sinking ship, but I don't want to insult rats. If they had the ability to stop their ship from sinking, they would do so.

Rats will help other rats escape from an uncomfortable situation even if they have to sacrifice immediate gratification (treats/food)

I'm not so sure about a lot of liberals

This is the exact argument my aunt busted out.

First of all, that's not true. But second of all, I kinda wish it was true because at least then people would actually fight back.

I can't understand why people don't care about people their own government is genociding.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 39 points 8 months ago

at least then people would actually fight back.

I sincerely doubt they would. Most libs don't seem capable of even recknoing with the idea.

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago

Whatever, she and I both live in a red state so it truly could not matter less who we vote for for president.

[–] disposable_cracker@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

Umm, sweaty, Biden might be genocidal, but Drumpf is genocidaler. If tiny hands wins, he'll start bombing Gaza with nazgul and collecting Palestinian souls to power a superweapon capable of destroying planets. So ackshually, if you really did support Palestine, you would want Biden to win. smuglord

also "stop caring about immigrants or you'll share their fate."
