I can't imagine straight-out-of-high-school 18-year-old me even coming as close to being as demonic as the IDF has been. I'm sure many other people couldn't either, but I can only speak for myself ultimately.

What about me is different?

Yes I agree. They call the teens kids as if they didn't have cognitive reasoning. The main difference between a child and a teen is that they can think for them selves.

If bombing people is what they think is correct, then they where either raised wrong when they where kids, or just brainwashed to think the evil way.

People still operate in their material interests, the justification comes afterward. The "brainwashing" is more of a post-conclusion justification, a dehumanizing of the "enemy" to justify the economic interests of settler colonialism and maintaining an Imperialist Foothold for the American Empire.

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
