  • I just upbeared your comment.

    FAQ

    What does this mean?

    The amount of upbears (points) on your comment and Hexbear account has increased by one.

    Why did you do this?

    There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be worthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

    • Rudeness towards Redditors,

    • Spreading Marxist Theory,

    • Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

    Am I in good standing with the Hexbear?

    No - not yet. But you should continue making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to retract my upbear, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

    I don’t believe my comment deserved an upbear. Can you un-upbear it?

    Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo an upbear. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Hexbear PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of upbear appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

    How can I make this happen again in the future?

    Accept the upbear and move on. But learn from this: your behavior will be tolerated on hexbear.net. I will continue to issue upbears until you fuck up your posting. Remember: Hexbear is privilege, not a right.


  • A problem that remains unsolvable because of everyone’s refusal to abandon their own ideological biases. very-intelligent

    If only people could become less polarized they would be perfect little centrists like me, not a single ideology rattling around my skull. No biases here, no siree.

    So the region just devolves into two groups slaughtering each other

    It’s just tribalism and religion, no need to look at who colonized who, land ownership is just vibes after all (except when it’s ordained by God or the British), a six year old Gazan kid who gets pasted onto a wall by a 500 pound bomb is just as bad as the guy dropping said bomb howdy-skull


  • It also had a very clear objective that was limited in scope (capture PoW and hostages to trade for Palestinians currently held in rape/torture-camps where they get surgery without anesthetics and often aren’t even charged with anything) so not a futile attempt at vengeance or terrorism, but a guerilla/military action against an armed occupying force aimed in the service of liberation. Fully justified under international law

    compare that to the IDF’s response which is collective punishment, genocidal actions, carpet-bombing entire neighborhoods, killing hostages, torturing doctors, murdering aid-workers and journalists and ramping up general settler violence in the West Bank and other places.

    It’s abundantly clear who the worst actor is here.
