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

fun fact palestinians are human

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sure lib fact checkers have found a way tp give this all the Pinocchios/pants on fires. I can't stomache commitment to that bit to do one myself though

Politico asked noted phrenologist Heinrich Goering Judenmoeder who said that the Palestinian brain pan is infact descended from the inferior denisovian race.

Killing to protect human life and the more we kill the more human life is protected. When all humans are killed all human life is protected because we all ascend to heaven thanks to our glorious savior Jesus Christ.

Yep that sounds like white western thinking to me!

Wrong, westerners would not say that native people of the places they colonize would go to heaven. agony-deep

Bro they said the same thing about Korea and Vietnam. THEY don't value human life like WE do SO WE are justified when we indiscriminately MASSACRE THEM.

In a just world every NYT “journalist” would be put on trial for supporting terrorism

[–] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Supporting terrorism and genocide = wall

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Yeah but they should be reminded that they’re the absolute lowest of the low, scum of the earth disgusting pieces of shit and paraded through the streets for shit-flinging before the world is finally rid of their cancerous asses

>implying Palestinians aren't human

Just lib things 🙃

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Listen I understand and agree that this person fucked up but can we unban them so I can stop seeing all these removed posts that aren't in the modlog thanks. /j

I agree. She may have some less than perfect takes, but queermunist is 100% on our side and I think she means well.

New York "Hitler isn't really antisemitic" Times is trying to tell me what now?

Valuing human life is when I drop White Phosphorus on a Children's Hospital

[–] Lettucetacoboutit@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago

I think it's all a little desperate. My suspicion is that the propaganda is not working as they hoped which makes them all the more genocidal.

I don't think this sort of reaction would be necessary without all of the pushback. I don't recall anything like it in the past, even when troops were on the ground in Gaza or Lebanon.

wow it's indistinguishable from a war-on-terror era ben shapiro tweet

I assume this was an earlier headline for the article. They seem to have changed the headline now to: Israel Can Defend Itself and Uphold Its Values

[–] sloth@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just turning the big dial as they watch the crowd.

[–] FrankLaskey@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 years ago

Hilariously they only changed the headline but still left that text in the body of the op-ed..

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

At least that headline is technically true. The zionist entity is built on genocidal fascist values so doing a genocide doesn't endanger them.

The photo is actually the first in the series of two pictures. The second picture (not shown) is of the hand flattening the woman and her child, with viscera flying all over the background

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

Something hurts my brain about justifying murder with the accusation that the victims don't care for human life.

Turns out we need to nuke Moscow.

Oh wait, we don't care about that whole Russia/Ukraine thing anymore. Silly me.

Glass Gaza for peace!

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

looks to me like that hand is about to squish some innocent lives

that's what they were trying to imply, right? the strong threatening hand held over the heads of innocent Palestinians, right?

[–] sloth@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And why does it look like Dr. Manhattan's hand?

new york times is right wing and always has been, like even by our american standards i mean

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thinking how much I want to show everyone involved in this article just how much I value human life

guts-rage

All exclusions apply lol. They're bombing Gaza with Israeli hostages there. They dont give a fuck about ANYONE.

[–] LordBullingdon@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

Really cool how many epic LoTR battles are going on around the world nowdays

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

the NYT editorial board should be on the receiving end of that defense

[–] anaesidemus@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

well no, except the dudes in charge probably don't think of Palestinians as human

[–] Flaps@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

As opposed to the Palestinian, where *somehow *a ton of people die, showing they don't care about human life as much

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago
[–] DirtbagVegan@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Hiding behind the editorial board too. Fucking cowards.
