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

Genocide denial parade in Germany, nothing to see here

[–] [email protected] 64 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Looks historically accurate to me: Hamas is returning hostages but Israel just shoots them all with a tank anyway

Jokes aside, fuck them, just because IOF kills any man, woman, and child they happen to set their sights on, doesn't mean they were "human shields"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

And even if they were human shields, it just enforced that Israel is genocidal. If you’re unable to restrain yourself from blowing up Palestinian civilians because they’re in the way, then you simply want to see all of them dead.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't even make Israel look good because it's still implying that Israel is tank-shooting through humans to get at Hamas.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The discourse has been "it's OK to kill civilians to get at Hamas, it's Hamas' fault if they die" for quite a while now.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

But then when you reverse it to be about Israel settlers getting hit with strays while being “protected” by the IDF, suddenly that’s bad.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I’m getting a “both sides is bad” take from the float, which is a terrible take by the way. Palestine is already vindicated in the history books as morally good, and that Hamas is the legitimate leaders of the Palestinians.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

This is modern Germany though. Saying Israel bad is the same as saying you worship Hitler and want him to rule the world.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 9 months ago

If Hamas was pushing a family towards my large tank, I would simply not shoot at them to avoid reckless deaths.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 9 months ago

Redditors are barely human, that is the only opinion I share with /pol/

I'm gladly gonna become the savage third worlder that this westerns pieces of shit are so afraid of after reading that comment section.

Death to America Death to Europe Death to the west

I think the only way to cure western bloodthirst is for western cities to be heavily bombed by russia and china. Violence is the only thing those foul savages can understand.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, then they'd want revenge. Imagine 9/11 but on a larger scale. You gotta make sure they don't benefit from violence, stop feeding them 24 hour news slop and let the beast starve

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Isn't america's power grid really vulnerable to substation failures? IIRC several surgical strikes is all that's needed to plunge the empire into darkness. No power, no news slop

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but no power also means no food refrigeration, no medicine refrigeration, no emergency services or internet, less heat and water, no.power for hospitals and transit systems....etc etc etc

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Which is why China and Russia ultimately won't do it. Compare ukraine to the levant, no contest.

Anyway the best option would obviously be no world war to begin with, but I have no faith in the west to not start something stupid.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

This is larpy and misanthropic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Geez, can't a person who hates the west let off some steam online? I want the western world order to decline and end without a terrible global war occuring but unfortunately I don't think the west will go peacefully

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Gee, I guess war being inevitable is the same as the punitive bombing of families being desirable

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Forget it, you clearly don't get the "letting off steam" part

they're using human shields so we're actually going to need even more weaponry to break that down

[–] [email protected] 34 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So does reddit-logo turn off upvotes on Israel/Palestine threads? I've been seeing this a lot lately

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I dunno but something‘s hinky: “[score hidden]” seems to be specific to this post and not to r/pics in general.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

I just see 1 upvote for every post - I've been seeing that a lot lately.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 9 months ago

This has the same look and artstyle of something that Germany would have put on a poster some 80 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes I forget to be angry and then I look at reddit-logo and I remember that there are evil evil people out there

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was gonna visit the link out of curiosity, but thanks for reminding me why I stopped using that crapsite

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I keep getting my accounts permbanned on reddit-logo since that one time I sent a death threat to a SAZF supporter on 7 October on worldnews, lol

Though on occasion I do stop by to see if anymore hamas-red-triangle fire compilations are uploaded

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago

:pain: made it like 3 comments in

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago

The thing is that Hamas does not fucking use people as human shields. That's what the "even if they did" argument misses. It's not fucking true. It's genocidal propaganda and it's a fabrication.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago

I suppose it's equal-opportunity racist and anti-Semitic.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Are German parades always this…graphic? I’m assuming the primary audience is families with children. Not sure about everyone else, but seeing giant puppets committing heinous war crimes would’ve traumatized me when I was a kid.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Cw homophobia

One of the other floats was apparently the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church blowing Putin so... I guess?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

They never were.

Could you imagine how mad they'd be if a Russian parade float depicted Merkel sucking off Obama?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

the ~~goggles~~ human shields, they do nothing

imagine spending so much time on this shit-post of a craft project, and never thinking for a second about who is pulling the trigger for that tank cannon, ya know killing civilians, there is no alternative etc

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

I hope teutonic factories continue to shut down and nord stream never reopens

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

You know on the movies where the villan has captured the love intrests holding a gun to their head in the final showdown and the hero just throws a bomb into the room killing both of them? Whats up with that?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Bit idea: make reddit “experts” on politics/history play Russian roulette but they’re in a slaughterhouse and the pistol is fully loaded

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

At this point, why give em the gun? Just use a firing squad...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

When we need them most cumtown had abandoned us
