I find it very funny you have a burning Russia flag but no burning Israel flag 😂😂

  Already saw that lol, contemptible stuff
  
  Wondered why that's the only flag that gets censored? Religious brainworms or worse? Don't really care.
  
  Also a double "one of these things is not like the others" with Russia being the only one of the states that isn't settler colonialist garbage. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's going on with these symbols.
  
  For obvious reasons a burning star of david may make our Jewish comrades uncomfortable.
  
  Once religious symbolism has been appropriated by Nazis, it's okay to burn their flag lol. You don't have to make up "the swastika is a religious symbol" tier jank to justify using a cryptic and unknown symbol instead of one that has power.
  
  Clearly nobody is worried about alienating Russians from the website. Big 🇺🇦🇵🇸🌹 vibes coming off this instance
  
  We literally have a flag too, and there's no open social democrats here because they'll either get made fun of or banned for being a fascist
  
  Ah my mistake I was scrolling past 400 cartoon characters. I guess that's a more consistent application of the theory of imperialism that leads people to apply it to Russia. Can't wait for the burning Iran flag.
  
  We have too but I don't think we have burning flags of any colonized countries or Iran.
  
  It was a weird comment, unclear, I meant in the case of a hypothetical large scale war and people getting dragged into the same kind of BS about how Iran's govt is reactionary (obviously is on domestic shit, but a clear attempt to undermine the antiwar movement or justify sanctions and regime change shit like that needs to be treated as such)
  
  But idk it feels like this is already WWIII so my vibes are off. I stand by my point about the Israeli flag
  
  But idk it feels like this is already WWIII
  
  Hard agree here, though I will say we're pretty nuanced about giving critical support when the enemy is the greater satan.
  
  There's a lot of issues with Iran's government, but at the end of the day that itself is a product of the US's own actions and at this point I think the vast majority of hexbear users would be rooting for a US aircraft carrier getting denazified in that event.
  
  Right that was where I was coming from on Russia. Smashing the barely livable post USSR state because reactionaries are in power doesn't solve shit. Hell we got here by smashing the Ukrainian state with BLACKROCK but now I'm just trying to be clever
  
  Once religious symbolism has been appropriated by Nazis, it's okay to burn their flag lol.
  
  It is the "israeli" flag being burnt. You don't get to decide if it should have the star. Iirc people did report being made uncomfortable when the emoji had it for, again, obvious reasons. Other symbols don't have the same weight of persecution in modern history as the star does.
  
  Clearly nobody is worried about alienating Russians from the website. Big 🇺🇦🇵🇸🌹 vibes coming off this instance
  
  What the fuck does this even mean
  
  This is ridiculous. You pretending that is the Israeli flag does not make it the Israeli flag lol.
  
  You're just arguing semantics now. Anyone with a brain can tell that's the "israeli" flag, just without the symbol zionists put in it to weaponize anti-semitism.
  
  Somehow I think this has a lot more to do with the accusation of antisemitism being weaponized successfully, if you're going to combat the allegations of antisemitically burning the Israeli flag by taking them seriously and using a make believe flag instead lol
  
  You dumb mother fucker it was a Jewish person here who has asked for it to not be added.
  
  And why would that be surprising to me, based on what you are reading?

  Did you just roll dice and pick a tendency? I would appreciate if you refrain from the inane

  This is pretty devastating to me so I hope you reconsider. Our relationship has been something incredible
  
  That's giving Nazis way too much power and legitimacy.
  
  Also I don't think a religious group known for being historically persecuted is comparable to a nation state.The Israeli flag isn't censored because we are afraid of hurting Israeli feelings it's because we've already been accused of anti-Semitism and don't want to fan that flame when avoidable. It's also out of respect for Jews obviously.
  
  On another note, hexbear isn't exactly known for supporting Ukraine lmao
  
  Also I had a look through your profile bc I do that with usernames I recognize. I noticed you will comment a lot of very well thought out and cited pieces and then the next comment is pure trolling or banter. I'm curious if you've been drunk posting or if you just be like that. Lots of removed comments to be curious about as well.
  
  Don't you think it's giving Nazis a little bit too much power and legitimacy for people to justify feeling uncomfortable around burning Israeli flags because they contain the Star of David? Way to make an ongoing genocide about their pearl clutching lmao.
  
  god fuck please let me have the emote that at best might not immediately be spammed by wreckers, ive been on the site 3 days so i can 12 angry men this shit if needed
  
  That's giving Nazis way too much power and legitimacy.
  
  Did you forget about WWII or something? Maybe you're drunk? It's called having a sense of humor, some people can do that sober. I didn't read your profile because it's irrelevant to a random internet conversation but ty for the TikTok style notification about it.
  
  I bet your face looks like a testicle
  
  Half the world's Jewish population resides in the Zionist entity and half outside, I don't think that we've reached a saturation point where burning a star of David is appropriate in societies that are still genuinely antisemitic like the US, England, etc. Who cares, it gets the point across ¯\(ツ)/¯ Death to Israel
  
  Thank you for being honest that you don't think it's acceptable to burn the flag instead of making disingenuous arguments lol
  
  It's clearly acceptable to burn that flag you idiot, we're just able to replace the symbol easily because it's jpegs online so who gives a shit, in the real world you're incredibly appropriate to burn it even if you reside on some other racist entity like the UK, US, etc. Maybe you're shielded from it but some people still experience actual antisemitism, not this Zionist coddling bullshit, and their concerns are worth noting and integrating.
  
  Hey, before you get all aggressive, Lesbian, you literally just typed
  
  I don't think that we've reached a saturation point where burning a star of David is appropriate in societies that are still genuinely antisemitic like the US, England, etc
  
  But clearly you like me understand this is the AngloNet. We have a few minor agreements. I don't see the reason to end on such a sour note.
  
  The biggest problem with the burning star of David is it evokes a very specific part of the holocaust, not just contempt for the country of Israel like the rest of the cool flags. Not even using the flag also specifically identifies it as not a real country - it's is a military cosplaying a state.
  
  The biggest problem with burning the star of david to the subset of Zionist liberals who are worried about this, that is. Maybe, if the people burning the Israeli flag were appealing to your compassion, it would matter what you consider problematic.
  
  But what has your conditional compassion accomplished in this world?

  I totally love that for you. So, my original post about what the emoji choices represent about the site were spot on. I don't know why anyone quibbled.
  
  I totally love that for you.
  
  Holy shit you are such a massive asshole get a life
  
  I'm starting to get the feeling this environment is a little tempermental.
  
  I'm starting to get the feeling you're really stupid
  
  Well, if I were stupid I'd probably be hunting down drama threads to throw inane insults at people in the hopes of getting a rise out of them. Doesn't look like any of you can let my statements lie

  Damn! I had no idea that people would be put off by being made fun of, or sent facetious replies.
  
  The main reason for it is that we get fascist trolls sometimes and we'd rather not have them spamming it.
  
  Also a double "one of these things is not like the others" with Russia being the only one of the states that isn't settler colonialist garbage.
  
  I think you are vastly underestimating the number of burning flag emojis we have.
  
  Making up a one-off guy to get mad at is excusable.
  
  Using the spectre of a bunch of made up guys to prop up the fallacious argument that burning the Israeli flag is antisemitic? Hilarious.
  
  It's very funny how much you're willing to assume while knowing absolutely nothing about us lol. Fascist wreckers are a real thing. Also burning the Israeli flag isn't antisemitic. We just don't want the potential for misuse.
  
  If you're going to immediately jump to conclusions and accusations with zero investigation like some redditor then we don't really want you here.
  
  Lol, you are a redditor. Mastodon and pleroma and bluesky are all twitter. Misskey is twitter. I wipe my nose with kleenex and google things on searxng
  
  Way to make this about you lol. This is gonna be hard to understand considering I raised the subject but the emotes don't really matter. It is funny what the choices of these specific emotes say about the site, the contradictory explanations for why they were made. But I don't want to engage in a prolonged discussion about this community, thanks. I'm sure you'd have plenty of other pals in this thread who would be eager to discuss your own site drama! And edit more emotes together! Changing the Russian flag to that of the Russian military or similar nonsense.
  
  It's like seeing an instance has blocked a bunch of stuff but not burggit. Which I was unforunate to discover today in all. Preemptively block it.
  
  But I don't want to engage in a prolonged discussion about this community, thanks
  
  bud you started this thread 5 hours ago and when I made a comment you replied to me within like 2 minutes lmao
  
  I don't want to talk ABOUT your drama silly
  
  Uh yeah I'm looking at r/all and replying to stuff, it doesn't take very long to reply to people. If you want to bring up weirdness, why is everyone on the site coming to visit me? 😂🤣
  
  This is gonna be hard to understand considering I raised the subject but the emotes don't really matter.
  
  But I don't want to engage in a prolonged discussion about this community, thanks
  
  Is that why you have like a dozen comments accusing us of shit?
  
  Reply to people -> they reply to me -> reply to them "wtf why are you replying to me" -> ♾️
  
  Lol, is there something wrong with explaining points to people who are acting confused in my mentions? Do you all prefer to be left alone?
  
  Reply all you want, but you don't then get to play the, "Actually I don't even care about this " card afterwards.
  
  Do you all prefer to be left alone?
  
  By you? Yes.
  
  I don't care about the history of the site's drama. As far as actually getting my point across to the people replying with apparent incredulity, it's the least I can do. You can act like that's something evil if you want. You can act like having an Israeli flag emoji burning is evil. We can all do what we want in the land of make believe. Especially when we have our special online make believe friends.
  
  You're the made up one-off guy, lol. Why does your opinion on anything matter?
  
  Neither of our opinions change what is and what isn't the Israeli flag. You can tell me I can also pretend that is the Israeli flag, but that doesn't matter.
  
  Was your random insulting reply to me bait?
  
  You're weird
  
  spectre of a bunch of made up guys
  
  we do get a lot of low effort posters and fascists. case in point
