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

This is like the opposite of Obama pretending to read Marx to impress a beatnik or whatever the fuck he said

Now, if he had scored by being the slimy dipshit he kept on being and gave him the presidency, would he boast about it? or rather lie saying "oh yes being a fraud didn't got me far [wink wink]"

I mean, everyone who has any idea who those cited writers were knows he's a spineless fraud today. But is it really easier to get the presidency than getting laid?

Why are my fellow fascists so dumb and uncultured?? ooooooooooooooh

How does one become so well known as a zionist with no game, that when a journalist decides to write an article, they think to interview you?

[–] [email protected] 56 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Don’t do it so soon. You gotta manipulate them into thinking you’re interested then break their heart.

Basically the DENNIS system, except you engage virtually

Even when I set it to "Jewish only".

Bruh wut? I've been out of the dating game for a while but do dating apps these days really let you filter by race/religion?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

I thought that's what jdate was

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Pretty sure the ones that let you filter have let you filter by anything you want with a premium account.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Also do people list their race/religion on their dating profile? I have no experience in this but I feel like those would at least be a second date topic.

Oh my lord this is brilliant and the irony is chefs-kiss

That’s why the Israeli government has to send men to their deaths in order for them to bust a nut

Remember all the similar articles about Trump nerds whinging about nobody wanting to fuck them anymore?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

is this the start of an attempt to whitewash and conflate anti-zionism with anti-semitism? I bet we see this term more and more since AIPAC has taken note that their wild claims of antisemitism are being called out as bullshit

Edit: i misspoke. You are right. Conflating the two had been going on since Israels inception.

I meant to say "the start of a quiet removal of "anti-semitism" from the lingo in favor of just outright using "anti-zionism", because attempts to conflate the two by AIPAC aren't working any more.

I haven't seen an article yet where they haven't even mentioned antisemitism in favor of using zionism, but i am confident you see more than i do what with your post count

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hey, I'm sure people who touch grass regularly also recall the effort of zionists to equate anti-zionism to anti-semitism going back like, since the beginning

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Pssh grass touching is for normies

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The article says the person got antizionists even when they set their profile to jews only. If the writer was trying to conflate zionism with jewishness, they wouldn't have included that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

sounds like you arent cynical enough. I can fix that ;) Lets go to the source of Rnai's excellent post:

to be clear, not really arguing with you ( i say this cuz a bunch of linked quotes often seems debate-pervy) laugh along with me! laugh i say!

CW: straight bullshit

Let's take a few more snippets from this turd for those who don't want to give them a click:

What’s more, while app algorithms are challenging to pin down, Jewish daters say that their matches have gone down since the war started and they think it’s got something to do with the “Jew” stamp on their profile.

“I don’t have a problem with the Palestinian flag – people can share whatever flag they like, but the people who post ‘no Zionists’ are basically saying ‘no Jews’. It’s what they think is an acceptable way of saying it,” he adds.

They're getting warmer now, doing that conflation bullshit. wonder how far they'll take it?

“Before the war, I said on Hinge that I was liberal and interested in politics, (lol) but I’ve taken that off now,” says Hannah.

“I’m hiding that aspect of myself because all the other girls on there who are into politics seem to hate Jews.

“It’s frustrating,” she says, “because I want to meet people who I can talk to about the world.

“But if they’re saying ‘no Zionists’ that doesn’t leave much room for me.”

HERE WE GO! 'no Zionists' is hatred of jews!

There’s always been pressure on Jews to meet each other – it’s one of the factors behind programmes such as Birth Right – but for many, it was not until October 7 and the subsequent hike in antisemitism that matching with a Jew felt necessary.

Jacob says: “I didn’t care before, but now I’ll make a bit more effort to try and find someone Jewish.”

Like Zack, however, he has encountered anti-Zionist Jews.

Now, towards the bottom, they use the terms interchangeably within a few sentences.

So its par for the course at the old conflation station or a subtle shift away from using antisemitism at all.

Zionists deserve much worse than "less interesting" matches.

I meant general unhappiness, misery, and worse.

the-plan The plan: get into online dating. At best, I find a girlfriend. At worst, one of the Zionists with low self esteem match with me out of desperation, and I lower their self esteem even more

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The way they end that fucking article, holy shit.

Most of my generation say they want to Free Palestine but all I want is a good date who isn’t turned off because I’m Jewish

One they're not turned off because you're Jewish, they're turned off because you're a genocide and apartheid apologist. Two, equating someone's dating prospects drying up to people being slaughtered in an open air prison is maybe not the mic drop the writer seems to think it is.

pigmask-off "Everybody is turned off by my fascination with 1930's/1940's Germany. Its really hard to get a date!"
