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

Daily reminder that conflating Jewishness and Zionism is antisemitic (what the person in the screenshot is doing).

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 73 points 1 year ago

The Jewish people supporting black liberation are most likely anti Zionist

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Uh.....does she realize Jews who supported BLM would most likely have been anti-zionist since......you know......American cops train in Israel?

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

I’d love to see the Venn diagram of Jewish BLM protesters/ Israeli hostage flyer posters.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

the Black liberation movement has been anti-Zionist at the minimum since the Black Panthers were around.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 56 points 1 year ago (5 children)

These responses, I'm going to get brain cancer...

American black civil rights groups have always ALWAYS stood in 100% solidarity with the Palestinian people. They recognize that they're part of an identical struggle and demanding that black people rescind that solidarity because you want to do your genocide is the most psychotic unhinged murderous opinion you can have.

I have literally never wanted to be Stalin more than this exact moment.

This is one thing the left will always have that the right will never: solidarity.

Well, the billionaires have class solidarity, and grillman has a pseudo-solidarity with the billionaires he lives vicariously through, but that's about it.

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

At the bottom of left solidarity is that all beings stand to benefit from communism. We don't need scapegoats or bag-holders for our practices to work. Our theoretical solidarity is limitless. Even a Fascist who surrenders and submits to intensive re-education may possibly partake.

Right solidarity works like a Ponzi scheme, requiring victims and suckers. Anxiety about being on the losing end of the equation is built-in, and is the shared interest at the root of their intrinsically precarious solidarity, which requires a steady increase in the supply of externalized human sacrifices to maintain the "peace".

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Wrong. If you stand with Palestine, you ain’t black, jack!

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That is not entirely true. Dr. King, for example, spoke out in support of Israel. Had he not been murdered, I do not believe he would have maintained that support, but the fact remains that in the middle of the century, some movement leaders believed Israel to be a fundamentally progressive project, and were blind to the suffering of Palestinians.

[–] star_wraith@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t want to give MLK a pass, but I was thinking about something similar: so many European communists in the 19th century had kinda bad takes on the USA (Marx and Engels included).

Obviously we are all products of our times, but I wonder if how much information we have at our disposal now (thanks to the internet) skews our perceptions of how easy it is to find out information, even things we are receptive to.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It was basically impossible to learn anything about anything back in the 90s. Like you could go to libraries and then you were limited to whatever they had, and if you knew it existed you could use inter-library loan. But, like, the limits of the world were newspapers, popular magazines, bookstores, and libraries. Good luck learning anythign without committing serious time to it.

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

Just getting exposed to it could be challenging, today you could have a Hexbear tell you on the Internet to read Lenin or post hog and, you know, go from there.

Good luck for that to happen before the Internet, especially if you lived in a reactionary or just lib territory

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Even with so much access to information, almost everyone still gets almost all their information from local sources they trust, in their native language. Actively seeking out foreign news and blogs is a good counter to this. Browser translation is excellent these days.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Kind of like how liberals are co fused why the Irish have such a consistent history of supporting Palestine.

Wild how empathy is actually a foreign concept to them if it can't be weaponized.

[–] DeadWorld@lemm.ee 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess their support was conditional

"You want security, cool just dont look over in this general area and ignore the screams. If you dont, it just shows you didnt actually deserve that safety you wanted"

The black community, famous for supporting segregation and apartheid.

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

An Uncle Ruckus from Boondocks emoji would be great right now.

The Jews who marched with BLM also protested the occupation, Michelle. They've done so again, and again, and again. If you want a zionist's take on BLM, ask Ron DeSantis.

[–] President_Obama@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As if Jewish people are part of one monolith, what is she on about

"What do you mean 'stop calling you Rhodesian?' You're white!"

Zionist Jews claiming to speak for all Jews gulag

[–] axont@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Liberals like to pretend they've done something so they can threaten to stop doing things. It's like the liberal version of collective bargaining except they have done nothing.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Yeah makes me think of that one Amy Schumer post where she was like "I stood with immigrants I stood with Black people" ect lol

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 year ago

And their spirit is still here in the Jews marching for and with Palestinians today.

[–] Cummunism@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

"why don't the people who protested cops murdering unarmed people support us murdering unarmed people? must be anti semitism."

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

Armed civilians are also entitled to due process, rather than summary execution

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

Can someone with a twitter account ask her about what happened to black Ethiopian Jews in Israel?

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

It still trips me up so hard when people conflate Zionism and Jewishness because it runs so antithetical to my personal experiences.

The first time I heard about Palestine was over a decade ago when I was but a young kid. It was on a bumper sticker on my friend's mom's car. "Palestine: the worlds largest open air prison." Probably first saw it when I went to their place for latkes around Hanukkah. From then on I just assumed the default Jewish position was to free Palestine so it still makes me crazy when I see this conflation.

I said Rosa Parks was good, so you should support me beating my kids. Why is that so hard to understand?

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

How many Israelis supported those things?makima-think

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Damn that is some racism.

"We won't forget"

So what, you're racist because you noticed a lot of people of a certain ethnicity didn't clap like seals upon Israel getting the war they wanted?

/pol/ still won't pick you, schmuck.

[–] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

NAACP, definitely organized by jews who liked zionism

usians are the most propagandized people on earth

[–] terry_tibbs@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

BLM doesn't represent the "black community" and while we're at it one of the BLM leaders is/was Jewish themselves.

[–] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So tired of these "we'll remember" posts. Muslim voters will remember how the Dems handled this. Jewish people will remember people on Twitter were mean.

bruh none of you libs remember anything*

Even if you did remember, it doesn't fucking matter. You can't do anything about it.

*Except that Russia intervened in the 2016 election

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

"Well remember this" say the people who have spent the last 6 years praising Bush, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheyney and McCain.

muslims might actually not vote. it's very easy to not vote

Those Jews also stand against you Zionists from committing genocide.
