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

You left the EU bruh peltier-laugh

Funniest future would be if Scotland and Northern Ireland left the United Kingdom and joined the EU lmao

I was attempting to lathe that back during brexit and I'm still trying to lathe it today. Just want the eu to let Ireland dom England for once, it's all I need.

NI has a path through rejoining the rest of the nation, but Spain is likely to throw a wrench in the works of a newly independent Scotland joining out of anti-Catalan sentiment.

It would be cool to see the UK just become England as the sole K though.

Elevating Guernsey to a full kingdom to keep the U

Watch England try to send in an application to be the 51st state in the US. You know damn well so many gammons there just dream of becoming Americans.

To be fair, Ingerlanders didn't vote to just leave the EU. They just voted to leave all the obligations and limitations, not to leave all the benefits and rights.

Nah the UK would sooner kill everyone in those regions than let them be independent. They're vassals.

The UK has wanted rid of NI for 60 years at least. The troubles kicked off significantly due to the UK govt's ham fisted attempts to divest themselves of it.
