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

"Blacks rule!"

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 75 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do they really think we're this dumb, or are we actually this dumb?

In attempting to gain support they've:

  1. Likened the attack to 9/11

  2. Had IDF women do tiktok/instagram/whatever videos to honeypot people

  3. Likened Hamas to ISIS

  4. They're also making comparisons between Hamas and Nazis, and actually trying to convince people Hamas are going to kill every Jew in the world unless Israel does a genocide

Again, do they really think we're this dumb, or are we actually this dumb?

[–] flan@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

r/worldnews credulously takes whatever times of israel says at face value so yes we are that dumb.

[–] pooh@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

/r/worldnews is heavily censored and probably full of bots, though.

[–] Judge_Jury@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

I think they're counting on the entirety of bourgeois media to make variations on Israel's messaging to target all sections of its audience, and to obscure the most counterproductive messaging from the same. You can do a lot with very little when you're backed by the institutions of the entire empire

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 69 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The 'personal belongings of one of the terrorists' was in a child's bedroom which was being used a Hamas base. Which was it? A store of 'personal belongings', a 'child's bedroom', or a 'Hamas base'? Because I somehow suspect no more than two Hamas members would have standing room in a child's bedroom, not even including the fact that it's apparently also storing the contents of bookshelves of all those Hamas members.

Just such a nonsense story jamming as many keywords into one narrative as possible. Sounds a lot more like "we killed everyone in a normal home, including the children, but I swear guys we found a book with Hitler's face so it's okay"

SEO-ass propaganda machine.

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 64 points 1 year ago

That is the cleanest used book I've ever seen

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 63 points 1 year ago

Various Hamas commanders sat around a plastic tea set, between a variety of stuffed animals, plotting the downfall of the West.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

Also, I have books on my shelf that are untouched (swear I'm getting around to them) and they are not in as pristine condition as a book people were allegedly studying found in a war zone

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I genuinely do not understand why Israel is so bad at propaganda.

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

They got used to being unconditionally supported by the USA.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

I'm more disturbed by the lack of media literacy the general population has to fall for this shit as hard as they have.

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

But it works. We'll all still be chomsky-yes-honey in 2100 crowing about how they lied about the WMDs, ten or twenty such lies on, and no one will have learned a thing.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

They don’t have to be good since it doesn’t exist to convince anyone but to delude themselves into thinking they’re anything other than the second coming of Hitler

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

They don't have to be good at it when their target audience instinctively believes them.

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

It's not that different from what the US puts out

[–] GriffithDidNothingWrong@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Translated note:

-GOOD point bring up with Ibrahim at next hamas meeting

-infiltrate the NSDP

-Jews control the selection process for art schools

[–] ComradeCmdrPiggy@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

Jews control the selection process for art schools

michael-laugh

Probably something Hitler actually believed. "My paintings aren't bad, the admissions officers are just Jewish! I'm not owned!"

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ah yes, the Hamas book club.

No one reads the books. They just come for the scones and to gossip

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

It’s where they discuss beheading 400 trillion babies before cackling maniacally around a campfire

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Never again is now!

but not for the reasons you think!

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

Folks pay attention to the date in the comic

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

Not the most flattering picture of Hitler either. Like, if I was trying to spread his ideology I wouldn't pose him like a seething anime villain.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

You can just hear the Death Note music in the background

[–] betelgeuse@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

People don't realize that Mein Kampf is a really dense text, you have to make annotations and take notes.

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I read it, it just felt like ramblings of an madman. Kind of like the shit basement dwellers who've not gone outside for a decade would write.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is what I've heard and I find the idea of treating it like a Wittgenstein text and extracting every coherent thought you can from it incredibly funny.

[–] pooh@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah it’s basically a big long unhinged rant. Sort of like an early 20th century German version of some chud wearing Oakleys and sitting in his truck making a 3 hour long video about god knows what.

It is so bad it's kind of laughable. And then you realize people took that shit seriously.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is a cop with a bag of meth or fent in his pocket for a "routine traffic stop" involving a PoC and he leans down a suddenly finds the baggie under the floor mat or some shit, isn't it?

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

really disappointed when "never again is now" was the first thing I read before even the username

[–] red_stapler@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m assuming this is like, a biography that explains how bad Hitler sucked and they assume westerners can’t read it.

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

Or more likely the story is just made up completely

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

It's common for the book to be published in a heavily annotated form (heavier annotation than I've seen for any other non-religious text) refuting Hitler's claims and pointing out various lies. It's worth looking at the book for academic reasons, so I am glad it gets published this way.

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

So the book that features views of nationalism and racial purity, and how these views ultimately progressed genocide? Why would they read such a thing.

[–] moujikman@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

Mein Kampf advocated for territorial expansion based on "Lebensraum" (living space) for the German people. This involved a deeply racial component, as it involved the displacement or extermination of non-Aryan populations.

OK the ones who believe this are first in the gulags

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

A lot of people here are appropriately laughing off this garbage but a lot of people either through stupidity or by being racists are happy to believe this

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What kind of weird child reads that book in any language

can anyone who can read arabic confirm that it's actually mine kampf? Also that sticky note doesn't look like it has real handwriting on it?

I did a reverse image search and all I found with that cover are other versions of this tweet. I did find an egyptian version of the book and it does seem to say mein kampf
