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

Jotting down the username so I can DM spoilers when it comes out

Here's an early spoiler: invading Gaza will accomplish exactly as much as bombing Gaza or blockading Gaza

Palestinians: there is a huge fascist state that is actively trying to kill me Israelis: my treat flow is stopping

conscription is fucked but this guy's friends are volunteering and he's gonna volunteer too.

eat shit and die

[–] neo@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

He's right. I'd also rather play Spider-Man than participate in a war. Maybe he should convince all his friends to play Spider-Man rather than enlist?

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

huh, okay, so it's u/itsEreztheZedMain that absolutely nobody should pm spider man spoilers to

alright, thanks for the heads up, wouldn't want that to happen huh

Lol damn, see personally I just preordered Spider-Man 2 and am planning to play lots of it, and all I had to do was not be an active participant in colonialism and genocide.

It’s crazy, all I had to do was not join the IDF and I’ll get to play all the Spider-Man I want

I am not going to read it again and makje sure, but I thought they thought they'd still be playing it at launch but wouldn't get to share that experience with their friends. I can't tell if that's better because of some amount of communal spirit or worse because the complaint being even more trivial in context.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah his friends got conscripted and he enlisted early to be with them

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

so solidarity but bad. sad times

I feel bad for this person. I shouldn’t, but I do. I hope their friends don’t peer pressure them into becoming even more of a war criminal than they already are as a settler by joining the military, but they already seem to be on that path. I hope they quit the military and living in Isn’treal.

Edit: nvm they’re literally volunteering for war crimes, it’s definitely too late for them

This is so sad Alexa play Despacito

No death is as painful as this fascist deserves

[–] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Peer pressured friend groups enlisting for war, famously a great idea

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

This is the kind of person that tells you that you must cuss more in your posts if you're perceived to be not fucking cussing enough like grown ass adultmen. Fuck. ![wojak-nooo](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/44f42cb5-b644-4687-a9f4-14557f5c0582.png "emoji wojak-nooo")

They targeted gamers. Gamers.

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Imagine getting peer pressured into going and joining a war to defend your genocidal country that I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt in suggesting you were born in and haven't had the chance to leave

Just lmao

They're just like us 🥰

I have this hope that in the presence of justice we can all be this excited about our treats instead of war. We'd know that our 20 hours of labor meant a comfortable world. The only standing up we'd have to do in that future would be against fascism and intolerance that people with old bones like us talk about when we mention defunct countries like Israel. I'd rather 10 gamers than 1 imperial pawn.
