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

Lmfao. Imagine throwing your life away, like almost certainly going to ADX Florence, for Vivek it Rhymes with Cake Ramaswamy. Trump assassins being the goober of christmas past is the funniest timeline.
edit: the BBC is expanding more on his ideology: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c8dp10d4vq2t?post=asset%3A7a4a9659-358e-4e1d-b9c8-48a83ac61600#post
Pro-Palestenian in there is a surprise but the rest does look like standard neocon
idk what his posts were that they're talking about, but in current imperialist western media parlance, "pro-Palestine" is having any position other than "gaza is hamas and not giving full-throated support to Israel's right to Ustaše-level sadism in their righteous cleansing of the land is anti-semitic"
I figure he was just an anti-Semite who hated Jewish people and Israel.
I met a rabid anti-Semite that was anti-Israel. Stopped talking to him when that came out.
I could see it being one of three things:
Some kind of milquetoast "I just want the killing to stop" post or ideologically murky contrarian news source like a Greyzone article
Antisemitism from the ideological channels he's getting his COVID conspiracies from. Maybe it's Nick Fuentes shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si7dl6BU78E describes him perfectly. I see an old loser LARPing as a mercenary to sublimate how underwhelming his life is. He's showing up in Kyiv and Washington DC dressed in little costumes to play war, and somehow he's so incapable that even the Ukrainians won't throw him into the meat grinder. That was 2022. He gets home, the LARP is over, and there's nothing to fill that void until the next generic war spectacle erupts. It just happened to be Palestine and he tried doing the same Rambo routine before giving up without going there.
Otherwise I don't know what news sources he'd be reading which positively feature Ukraine, Taiwan, and Palestine at the same time. There's almost certainly no way it's principled antizionism.
