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

Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur 3h Can everyone please stop the dumb "from the river to the sea" chant? It is incredibly hurtful to our Jewish brothers and sisters. It's also incredibly counterproductive to protecting Palestinians. Do not chant something that majority thinks is call for genocide. Not complicated. Dec 11, 2023 · 11:09 PM UTC

cenk uygur is a dumb baby

Not too long ago I was at a pro-Palestine protest where members of Jewish Voice For Peace were gladly joining along with "From the river to the sea" chants

So shut the fuck up Cenk

majority

Nattering media class yet again mistakes the few hundred of their peers who pretend to believe from the river to the sea is antisemitic represent a majority

the same logic that earned him a whopping 5% of the vote in 2020 when he ran for congress

[–] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 62 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's genuinely hilarious he's running for president. Like people either have no idea who he is or are so terminally lib brained they're definitely voting for Biden anyways.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

Imagine getting dominated that badly and thinking "yeah I definitely have a deep understanding of politics and my fellow americans" instead of just stepping back from bloviating and retiring

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 21 points 2 years ago

I guess that's what happens when you don't get the Armenian vote because you don't think their genocide was real either.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That shit was pathetic. It would have been smarter for him to go more local and run for a spot on a school board or the LA city council. Probably would have had more success too if his enormous ego didn't get in the way.

says the man who named his propaganda outfit after a group that famously committed multiple genocides

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 51 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Still amazing that after all those years he still hasn't renamed his channel.

[–] SpookyGenderCommunist@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, there's a clothing store in the US called "Banana Republic". Is that a bad look? Sure, to people like us, who know. But at a certain point your brand surpasses the original atrocity it's associated with in the cultural memory and no one cares.

seems like he just loves a good bit of genocide

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME YOU NAMED YOUR SHOW AFTER THE ARCHITECTS OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE YOU SICK MISERABLE BROKE FUCKING LOSER

[–] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 63 points 2 years ago

Cenk has sold out so much that my 50+ year old politically illiterate step dad is watching him on TV now.

[–] Munrock@lemmygrad.ml 63 points 2 years ago

First "that phrase is a call for genocide because we said so" combined with the more recent "maybe we should stop calling everything 'genocide'" whenever anyone describes what Israel is doing.

Utterly cooked.

"It's also incredibly counterproductive to protecting Palestinians." nerd

You see the reactionary brain pan is inherently violent and will commit atrocities at the slightest provocation.

[–] diego_maradona@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How does he still not get that there will never be a form of resistance that will be considered acceptable?

[–] huf@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

yeah, if the chant had been "peaceful and reasonable accommodation with the state of israel", they would've called that a genocidal chant. there's no point.

How do you really feel about the slogan, Cenk?

I personally prefer the original: "From the window to the wall, Palestine will be free"

Why does no one seem to say this to the other side when they say 'no ceasefire', that it sounds like support of genocide (I asked rhetorically)

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

Know what's not complicated? Speaking out against genocide. It's really easy actually. Shame Cenk can't even do that

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

When will left libs learn that it doesn't matter what they say or do the right. Will never care or respect them. No matter how much they roll over and piddle on themselves the center and the right will always see "progressives," or whatever term they are using this decade, as children to be ignored.

[–] privatized_sun@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

our Jewish brothers and sisters

protecting Palestinians.

huh I wonder why he used different language thinkin-lenin

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

i misread cenk as "crank" at first and it works both ways tbh lol

If Trump ever has to deal with him someday, I know exactly what the nickname will be

[–] WalterBongjammin@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago

I bet you could get polling majorities the CRT is white genocide in several US states

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago

look, it's very simple. palestinians are stupid children who are incapable of properly advocating for themselves, so we must refrain from using their absurd political slogans

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Can't have an ethnostate these days

One state solution it is

Just a reminder of all the conservative uncles we will all be dealing with this Christmas 🙄

Ending occupation isn't the equivalent of what isntrael is doing to the Palestinians.

From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.
