You gotta love that every comment in this thread Is people saying that no one would ever say this on Hexbear, And then every other comment is people saying it.
I havent seen that personally. But who knows the internets a crazy place. I do think there are some positives for this storm tho just not related to people dying. These storms that go from 0 to 100 hella fast have been happening but havent hit the US yet so this should bring attention to the phenomena which is something that needs to happen. We need to study it more. Plus id rather it hit the US than like Cuba or something. The US can economically handle it easier. Other than those few silver linings ya i mean its a hurricane it sucks. Hope all the working class and poor in florida got somewhere safe.
Nobody is doing this though. That's lib shit.
... People were doing that? Here?
is literally anybody doing this
There's the Slammer post which is coated in enough layers of irony that I can't confidently tell you whether I have any issue with it. 
it's pretty weird to be getting mad at fellow hexbears for making jokes about this when almost the entire internet is covered with Zionists celebrating far worse things happening simultaneously though.
oh, so we're just doing another struggle session on "infinite genocide on the first world" / "america deserved 9/11" i guess
They did deserve it though. Like they literally armed the perpetrators
Trained and funded them as well. Almost as if it served the long term goals of empire or something.

This tbh, hell, the western internet always seems to mock when disasters happen in China, and are generally absolutely vile about the whole global south and AES countries. YanKKKees love to take the piss but they have paper-thin skin.
People shouldn't be celebrating the hurricanes (unless it hits DC, in which case, based and infinite support, for any comrades out there living in the most concentrated core of greed, malice, and all modern evils it isn't personal) but I don't see anyone doing that here. Joking about it though is another matter... it may not be the best praxis, and if it's really bothering people it should stop, but it's definitely the sort of thing (being treated with kid gloves) that the west always takes, and never gives- naturally people aren't going to just forget that.
Not to dox myself but I'd be glad if a nuke hit the city I lived in because it would be a net positive to society
Also not to dox myself, but if it happened here as well, I can guarantee we (the country) asked for it, and the world would be better off for it (net positive as you said). Honestly, while it would be utterly tragic and would wipe out much of my immediate family as well and likely my partner and I as well in the aftermath- I'd go so far as to say that if Yellowstone had a massive eruption (of the worst scale imaginable), so long as the US doesn't launch the nukes to bring the rest of the world down with them (entirely possible, maybe even more likely than not) the rest of humanity would be better off (despite the resulting volcanic winter and likely famines that would cause, and the massive disruption or more accurately destruction of much of the modern world economy).
Things are just that bad, and the west is only trying to force the world to even worse. They (the west) only have terrorism now to offer the world; their system is defunct (anyone here should already understand that much, even if it's Hexbear) and is at such a point where it is literally cannibalizing itself and not just destructive and inefficient (as rentier/exploitative behavior always was), but wholly counterproductive to actual production and real wealth (not talking about capital, and wealth can be held either in private or public/proletarian control but you get what I mean) and prosperity, and destroying itself and trying to drag the rest of the world down with it to sustain its contradictions. And that's before getting into the multiple pressing crises their system is causing- climate change, nuclear war, pandemics, neoliberalism...
I think there are some...Citations Needed
Literally the only silver lining I can find in this whole thing is that it could potentially destroy the home insurance industry to the point that Florida becomes completely unlivable. If nothing can be insured nobody can live there. That's kinda the only good thing that could possibly happen out of this.
Also all violence against settlers is self defense and I gotta say this specific event is 100% mother nature being violent in self defense.
Insurance as a private industry is so stupid. They extract profits to protect people from catastrophic losses, but then when something catastrophic happens, the government has to step in to save the industry. We've seen it with the risk pools that states have had to create to keep health insurers from pulling out of rural areas, with last resort programs for home insurance and flood insurance, the AIG bailout, and the built in bailouts of Obamacare.
Why do they get to collect the profits if they don't cover the risks?

Gonna toss in my own spicy take: climate disaster is the genocide of the poor by the rich, and framing it in this manner absolves the perpetrators.
It is inevitable. As a Floridian our insurance industry is on pace to crash head on into a wall and nobody can stop it. We COULD MAYBE expand Citizen's, which is a government run/backed insurance that is currently only used for those who otherwise cannot get insurance anywhere else, but nope. Our Republican leadership absolutely don't want that. Instead they deliberately make sure Citizens is just this side of too expensive as not to "compete" with the market and if you qualify for any other insurance they must kick you off of it.
The failure of insurance in Florida is such a huge strike against capitalism and they know that and will do anything to make sure it doesn't happen. In fact, recently they relaxed regulations for small shop insurers here. What that means is we will have more startup insurance companies insure people for cheap, get more claims against them on a big hurricane than they have capital, pay out what they can and leave everyone else in the weeds. Total loss. It's fucked.
And they won't even be the first. We have an official graveyard dedicated to all the insurers killed this way. Another for the pile.

Ah yes, the poor people who couldn’t achieve enough enlightenment to choose their incarnation are totally to blame for being born in Florida.
Fuck off with this goofy shit. Sins of the father is dumb as fuck and even the monotheists realized this a long time ago.
CENTCOM feeling the wrath of Poseidon is objectively funny.
Shame about the rest of Tampa doe.
I'm not celebrating, I'm worshiping the angry storm god so it doesn't come for me.
I was saying "THE Americans, The"
No one who speaks German could be an evil man.
Oh sure it's "Another Kkkrakkka down" this and "unlimited genocide on the first world" that. But as soon as someone celebrates Amerikkkan vampires finally suffering suddenly it's all "no not like that."
The issue here is there are non shitheads also suffering
The word "unlimited" does imply that, yes
I never used that slogan and I don't think it does any good especially on a leftist shitposting site.
fuck it if i get hate for this but i don't want to wish genocide on anyone, ironically or not
Have we really reached a point where "genocide is bad actually" feels like a hot take?
I think the rest of us are dumbfounded with the spectacle that is natural disasters in the Southeast. I support Floridian refugees taking our black jobs, living in our hotels and eating our cats. I refuse to expend the CO2 needed to rebuild their state, time for this project of annual reconstruction for a minority of folks to enjoy some beaches and palm trees to end.
Perfection. Obviously (due to prior struggle sessions) this is not cheering on the hurricane or laughing at the victims when I say this, but this is exactly how the US has been treating Haitians (and the entire world) distilled down into one sentence. Actually- not quite "exactly"- unlike with Haiti where the US is pretty much explicitly, directly guilty for the overwhelming majority of Haiti's two centuries of suffering post-independence- we aren't, none of us are guilty of inflicting this upon the US; in fact, while the masses could be ascribed varying levels of guilt and non-guilt, the settler-colonial destructive nation-project of AmeriKKKa is likely directly responsible for inflicting this upon its own people and creating the conditions where this misery would be exacerbated and prolonged.
The gall of (certain, specific, however not at all remotely miniscule in number) Americans in spreading blood libel against Haitians- not only on unfounded claims, but for issues that could and should if true be directly attributable to two centuries of American invasions, occupations, regime changes, and plundering and agricultural as well as economic imperialism, always struck me as particularly vile, when Haiti's never-ending food crises (manufactured mass famines, rather) are entirely AmeriKKKa's fault, the fault of all those (bipartisan- honestly I suspect the DNC is more guilty even considering the KKKlinton's notorious abuses of the nation) assorted Hitlerites who occupy the highest positions of power, wealth, and prestige in the regime, and when Haiti even now is being trodden down by hired Kenyan comprador boots, something their respective US embassy is on record describing their responsibility for arranging.
but we still get to laugh if desantis gets swept out to see or a road sign through the pancreas right?
Stop causing so much climate change then?
Floridaman is capable of many feats but I highly doubt he singlehandedly did climate change.
I think the chickens coming home to roost gives people a bit of schadenfreude. Which I think is fine in the abstract, but when it becomes “I want to see these people suffer” yeah I agree, bad take.
