I am genuinely confused by hexbear too

Is it a site for queer people or for beanis lovers?

If you read my other comments on this post you’ll get a more nuanced understanding of the issue and the reason I worded that way, as some people still disagreed with me so I explained the reasoning.

In regards to your statement on why Hexbear supports Hamas resistance in Palestine despite the fact that Hexbear does not share many of Hamas’ beliefs, we can easily find the reason by following the same flowchart in reverse:

⬇️ The UK did imperialist expansion in the Middle East and created a settler colonial state in Palestine.

Imperial expansion is the worst, as it forces the previous three into existence.

⬇️ Imperialist action is taken via war by the settler colony to seize land from the native population.

Imperialist war is even worse than that.

⬇️ Settler-Colonial state must maintain ethnonationalist conflict to maintain tenable demographics within its borders

Ethnonationalist war is worse.

⬇️ Hamas is resisting an ethnonationalist conflict against the Palestinian people.

War is bad.

Therefore: There is no Hamas in the first place if there was no war. There would be no war if there was no ethnonationalist conflict in Palestine. There would be no ethnonationalist conflict in Palestine if there was no imperialist war to expand Israel. There would be no imperialist war to expand Israel if there was never any imperial expansion via the creation of Israel.

So if you want to get rid of Hamas or any organization that would be similar to it, you must first find the root of that problem and undo it. This does not mean there can’t be any Jewish people in Palestine, but it does mean there can be no remnant of imperialist expansion, AKA no Israel.

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
