My favorites are the one-liners that just repeat the same joke with no elaboration or critical thought.

“Jews for Hitler” https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/18hl2ue/hundreds_of_queers_for_palestine_demonstrators/kd7ds8i/

"Chickens for nuggets."https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/18hl2ue/hundreds_of_queers_for_palestine_demonstrators/kd78d88/

“Cows for Cheeseburgers” https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/18hl2ue/hundreds_of_queers_for_palestine_demonstrators/kd8ebv5/

And finally, “When the chickens march for Popeyes,” which is followed up with “You win Reddit today” + “I snorted laughing at this” "https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/18hl2ue/hundreds_of_queers_for_palestine_demonstrators/kd77ez3/

And then we have a kind, considerate liberal who says “Please deport these idiots to Gaza.” https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/18hl2ue/hundreds_of_queers_for_palestine_demonstrators/kd77srw/

Along with this guy who clearly does not understand the Constitution, saying, “I don’t care what you believe. Its a free country. DO NOT BLOCK THE FUCKING ROADS.” https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/18hl2ue/hundreds_of_queers_for_palestine_demonstrators/kd7cz4m/

And finally, a special shoutout to this absolute genius who literally just posted a link to the Wikipedia page for “Islamo-leftism” https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/18hl2ue/hundreds_of_queers_for_palestine_demonstrators/kd7u2ll/

So if we’re to adopt the position that the victims of genocidal actions should not get our support because we assume that they are anti-queer and, in fact, we should be supporting their genocide then I have to stop and wonder exactly how progressive holocaust victims were on the matter of queer rights?

Because if queer people should only oppose genocide when we feel like we are supported by a particular group and if we take the baseline levels of queerphobia from a century ago in Europe then it seems like we would be acting in our “best interests” to support the holocaust by their shitty logic.

Or, let’s make it more contemporaneous: “I do not oppose the (alleged) Uyghur genocide because (I assume) the Uygurs are not progressive enough on queer rights for my tastes.”

I wonder how they’d manage to square either of those two circles?

Create post

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
