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

Weird how they always put words like this into the mouths of tankies yet they never seem to muster a screenshot or a link to a comment.
Blue MAGA is wild. As soon as anyone dares breathe a word of criticism of a Democrat, immediately you're a rabid Qanon Trump supporter in their eyes.
"I don't support voting for Kamala, she does not represent my interests or my political beliefs."
"Don't you get it? You need to vote for Kamala to save democracy from Trump, who threatens to destroy it."
"You mean the system where you vote for the candidate who represents your interests?"
"Yes."
These progressives seem so disconnected that I wouldn't be surprised if the irony in that is completely lost on them.
Well they've defederated from anywhere with a dissenting opinion so they have to guess at our opinions.

I think it's more that they live in a permanent state of exception since 2016 where they will excuse anything to stop orange man, and are insenced that you don't too.

Where do "we" say to vote for republicans? Lmao
These people are deeply unserious
Where do "we" say to vote for republicans? Lmao
In their minds being critical of right wing ideals is a vote for Trump.

The Lemmy.world libs are so cooked they went from well-done to congratulations 
They can't form coherent thoughts, they summon a mystical enemy in their thought palace to fight against and cannot imagine someone thinking Red Genocide is also bad if Blue Genocide is bad.

All these people are convinced that Trump would be worse for Palestinians.
And maybe they're right, maybe Trump will send in straight up death squads. Maybe he'll build vans that pipe the exhaust into the cargo area and ship them to tel Aviv. Maybe he'll start sending the Israelis Zyclon b.
But the fact remains. The last year has been the most deadly for Palestinians. Ever. More Palestinians have been killed in the last year than died during the formation of the state of Israel. More Palestinians have had their homes destroyed in the last year, then ever before in modern history.
At this point, saying Trump would be worse for Palestine is like saying that Himmler would have been worse for the Jews. Possibly technically correct, but also a poor attempted genocide denial.
It's very interesting how comfortable all the libs are with letting a fascist set the minimum standard for acceptable behavior
One said I wanted them dead simply for saying we're allowing the current situation. They're super fucked up
Uwu I'm a small little flower who will wilt if you don't soak me with blood
Uh guys I think maybe we shouldn't feed people's blood to this flower
and just let them die???
if we dont feed them like that then the others will feed it 10x
Cant we figure out how to not feed it blood?
how dare you be pro other party!

It's fundamentally beside the point that the entire neoliberal edifice is demonstrably the worst thing for the Palestinians, and building an actual opposition does mean your opponent is liable to increase their aggression. A hypothetical Trump win is nothing but neoliberalism getting more aggressive as it is challenged (scratch a liberal, etc.). We cannot let fear of that turn us away from strategies that can actually solve things in the long term because all hands are too committed to bailing water instead of fixing the leak.

When the US sells weapons to Israel, the purpose is to ensure peace in the region by helping them hold a line of defense against military attacks from antagonistic countries; and in the case of Hamas, for the anti-terrorism operation of removing Hamas from power in Gaza, so that Palestinians can pursue self-determination free from terrorist rule.
This person exists within a fictional space where America is just the heckin good guy and not a bloodthirsty empire hell bent on ever more blood
They can't comprehend that a dem is letting it happen, only that it can somehow get worse with concentration camps or mass executions...which totally aren't already happening
When that starts under the Kamala administration, they'll find another excuse.
It's kids in cages all over again.

Yeah I got to that comment tree and blacked out for a bit, knew it was time to close the thread. Just unbelievably vile people
the purpose is to ensure peace in the region by helping them hold a line of defense against military attacks from antagonistic countries
"we created this artificial problem and now we need to protect this artificial problem from the problems it created"
in the case of Hamas, for the anti-terrorism operation of removing Hamas from power in Gaza, so that Palestinians can pursue self-determination free from terrorist rule
"Whatever Gazans are still left after the Gazan ~~genocide~~ SMO will be free to return to their unacceptable living conditions they had before Hamas, wherein they had unacceptable living conditions but were run by a ~~resistance~~ terro (okay I'm not calling them that even for a bit) organization. Then we can all celebrate their return to unacceptable living conditions because it's not bothering Westerners any more"
Let me be clear, I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on Oct. 7, including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.
-Kamala Harris
She can’t have it both ways. You can’t call out a genocide without using the word while at the same time you’re providing the weapons used to commit that genocide. Fucking ridiculous.
Also
the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on Oct. 7, including unspeakable sexual violence
Just repeating completely debunked, vile lies

A line from one of the early (and long) posts:
all the democrats are doing is supporting a country who aligns with US values
Well I'm glad they admit this much 
Since when does their auto mod work? Lololol
people who loudly and proudly say they're voting for the lesser evil when you remind them they voted for evil: 😡😡😡😡😡😡
aaaaaand it's locked 
because of "way too many reports" lmao
we don't want to actually moderate excuse. Now I need to see if they banned me
Edit yes they did but of course none of the attacks or actual rule breaking comments were dealt with...
Wonder how much rule breaking it would take before lw removed pug Jesus
solarpunk's "automated" ban system is now going through and banning people from that thread too. very cool! 👍
Oh That's awesome. Probably also got banned there now.
Same people who say there's no mod tools and ml is the worst right?
Apparently banned from memes according to their mod log.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Under the assumption that dems care about winning (questionable), the precedent must be established that they cannot do genocide and still have people vote for them. No matter what. As was said, four years of Trump isn’t comparable to even a single day in Gaza. It is a dark future if the alleged left opposition knows they can happily support mass murder and large numbers of idiots will not only vote for them but also spend many hours viciously shaming those who will not. Although perhaps we already live in that future and have since long ago, but it is never too late to establish that precedent. That is the total extent of harm reduction I am prepared to engage in.

i wonder why this is the only topic where whataboutism is allowed
They can't even say how it'll be worse while yelling trump will make it worse.
Really cool how many shitforbrains smuglords in that thread are reducing it to "religious zealots blowing each other up for religious reasons".
Fuck these fucking people man.

Why the hell do I keep clicking on these? It's always worse than what I would do if I was trying to parody their position. Today the frustration about having to pretend to dislike genocide is wearing dangerously thin:
Inb4 “I wAnT nO gEnOcIdE” like it’s some kind of clever gotcha response that shows anything but their whole white bougie kid politics having ass.
their whole white bougie kid politics having ass.
This sentence was 1000%, without a shadow of a doubt, typed by the crackeriest of crackers
Pure projection, almost all of the people I know who take an actual principled stance against Israel are working class POC.

They're obligate dipshits, why can't you understand that? If you feed them leftist opinions, you'll hurt them in the long run. They need liberal self-righteousness.
I love how liberals keep mentioning that Trump said he’ll “finish the job” when this exists
if you pissed on liberals and told them it was raining they would believe it.
No, if you told them the sky was blue, they'd think it's green now. If the DNC told them it was rain, then they'd believe it.
