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

NGL the tweetback saying he was Ukrainian is pretty funny even if it’s a NATO kool-aid drinking account.

I've seen ukraninan nationalists who unironically believe this and it is really funny

What, they think ancient Stone Age Ukrainians came down and settled the Levantine thousands of years ago?

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't know the specifics, but there are ukraninan nationalists who think that ukraine is the origin of all culture and civilization

That’s, so inaccurate it’s almost impressive

there is a lot of fascinating nationalist crankery in eastern europe. Another one(and my personal favourite) is fomenko's new chronology

the absolute funniest ones are always the foreigners who seemingly pick a country at random and join these weirdo movements of theirs.

there's an italian linguistics professor who insists hungarian is etruscan, which lines up super well with some strains of our weirdos.

that's normal for europeans though. there's always a fringe in every european country that thinks jesus was from that country.

You're right but I've seen a huge rise of this in ukraine since 2014

Jesus is Brazilian and I won't accept it any other way

Jesus was clearly American, SIR
