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.
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

Unfortunately he's probably doing it because he's actually anti-semitic, which will be ammo in lib's guns pointed at us, because "wow you stupid tankies agree with ALEX JONES? That's just MORE PROOF in horseshoe theory! You tankies are just like the right!"
No you dumbass libs we don't agree with Alex Jones. Yes, we want a ceasefire and an end to the genocide, but for entirely different reasons. Context matters. Well, to us anyway. Context doesn't matter to libs, they are incapable of understanding context.
Who knows what propagandists actually believe. They’re actors playing a characters to influence public opinion and make money.
Right.
Jones wants a ceasefire because he wants all the Jews to be wiped out by Hamas.
We want a ceasefire because we don't want to watch Palestinians be killed off and forced out of Palestine by Israel.
Not defending Jones here obviously, but how could a ceasefire hypothetically help Hamas wipe out the Jews?
The right wing thought is that Isreal is defending itself against terrorists that will surely immediately and completely destroy Isreal the moment Isreal stops the killing.
It's absolutely positively ridiculous but this is what they actually think. Similar to how they thought if we didn't blow up Iraq or Afghanistan they would continue to do 25 9/11s every single day until America is completely destroyed. Right wing folks aren't too smart.
I suppose 'wiped out' is far too strong, more like 'let Hamas kill as many Jews as possible while trying to demonize Israel'. Like Infamousblt pointed out, I was going with the defacto rightwing mode of thinking, which is 'the evil brown people will kill as many people as possible unless they themselves are being wiped out'
It also occurs to me he may be trying to poison the well here by himself wanting ceasefire, trying to make it seem less palatable for anyone left of him.
