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

This is not remotely a right-wing article. It is, however, not the flavor of left-wing that the Western Left prefers at the moment.

smh the western left truly is useless for checks notes being against colonialism

[–] 420stalin69@hexbear.net 44 points 8 months ago

The progressive liberals burden.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 38 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Ah, yeah that comment section is something else. And the comment that this is a reply to is equally cringe.

This is how I always know you are sincere and authentic. Sometimes you are standing amongst the left-wing I left behind. And then you are so far right my jaw drops. And I learn so much from you! So happy to be a subscriber

Hey, its one of those "I was a leftist, but..." fascists. Guess being against the genocide made this one leave the left.

What non Western leftists does this dude thinks would like his article? Venezuelan social democrats? Greek anarchists? Chinese MLs? The only audience for this nonsense is Western radlibs who call themselves leftists. He's just mad that a portion of people in the West are mad at his favorite genocidal ethnostate.

One of the comments liked by the author:

I have surmised that Palestinians function like Arab (Muslim) rednecks/crackers/poor white trash. Their culture is backwards in comparison to their near neighbors - even their Muslim neighbors. They function as a permanent underclass in comparison to those neighbors. Violent in noticeably more extreme manner than any of their neighbors, religious in a flamboyant manner in comparison to their neighbors. (Different from rednecks in that their sexual mores are conservative and they appear to value self-education and industriousness).

This is just pure evil, and it's not even the whole comment what-the-hell

[–] AsLeftAsTheyCome@hexbear.net 45 points 8 months ago (2 children)

They function as a permanent underclass

he-admit-it

Damn dude, I wonder who made them a permanent underclass?

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They just never learned to code

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The Nakba would have never happened if Palestinians had just learned Rust. obama-sad

[–] nightshade@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

Actually, they should learn C so that they can free(palestine)

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

A real mystery thonk

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago

Can you imagine having a neighbor that is religious in a flamboyant manner? :who-did-this:

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 31 points 8 months ago

"they'll know I'm racist if say they behave like... I'll just say they act like rednecks so I don't seem racist"

[–] princeofsin@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

Yes yes the noble and civilized western men who clean their asses with toilet paper have to put us barbarians down.

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Love to be simultaneously racist, a xenophobic religious bigot and classist against poor whites of all people.

Who wrote this shit, JD Vance?

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

If they described them as subhuman then it would just be another Victorian newspaper article

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

I have surmised that Palestinians function like Arab (Muslim) rednecks/crackers/poor white trash.

I can almost physically hear him swatting his own hand away from the "N" key as he writes that last bit.

[–] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 60 points 8 months ago (2 children)

For the record, this is the piece of human garbage that was fired from The Seattle Times for tweeting that Hitler wasn't all that bad.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

Weird how Zionists keep attracting Nazis

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And his defense was that his dad was jewish.

[–] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Yeah, he also tweeted "my heartfelt apologies to anyone who thought I was defending Hitler. I didn't mean to defend Hitler, I was just saying he wasn't as bad as communists."

The guy literally only has a problem with Hitler's anti-semitism.

Dr. Guillotine invented his famous machine with a scientific eye to making executions reliable and, as nearly as possible, painless.

We do not share Dr. Guillotine's humane goals.

[–] NPa@hexbear.net 48 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Very impressive to write an article where every single statement is a lie

[–] NPa@hexbear.net 59 points 8 months ago (7 children)

like

"We took two of the most powerful and evil regimes in history [WW2 Germany and Japan] and transformed them into liberal, peace-loving societies. How was this miracle accomplished? Quite simply, we occupied both nations, reeducated and democratized their populations, restructured their governments, put their war criminals on trial, and demilitarized and denazified their societies. We ripped them down to the bone and started fresh."

no u didnt

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago

And if they did, is this article saying we should do this to the Israelis?

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

The fucking historical ignorance of the amerikkkan liberal I stg

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

reeducated and democratized their populations, restructured their governments, put their war criminals on trial, and demilitarized and denazified their societies.

Oh okay, so we're cool with the USSR then?

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

occupied both nations, reeducated and democratized their populations, restructured their governments, put their war criminals on trial, and demilitarized and denazified their societies

bruh, the US/West just took all the war criminals and put them in charge of shit. Who does this person think was running west Germany? Deeply unserious.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

Even if this was true, this isn’t even what Israel wants. The US left Germany and Japan except military. Israel wants every Palestinian to be killed they don’t need to worry about rebellion.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

It's a vaguely good argument for invading Israel, admittedly.

In a just world, anybody that penned anything like this and tried passing it as journalism would be publically executed, and the publication would be dissolved after having its assets sold and distributed among the general populace.

[–] Count042@lemmy.ml 34 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What 'publication' is this?

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

anakin-padme-1 The case for colonizing Gaza

anakin-padme-2 You must mean the legal case at a warcrimes tribunal prosecuting Israel and its allies at The Hauge, right?

anakin-padme-3

anakin-padme-4 How else could you mean, 'Some cultures have to be forced into the light'?

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago

It sure was nice of this news outlet to find work for a 19th century Victorian time traveler

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago

The comment section of the article is vile
