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

It’s actually impressive to me how the West and its satellites are able to so impressively compartmentalize their propagandistic narratives in the service of war and imperialism, even digging up shit like this when “hindsight” is supposed to be a thing. It’s not like this ended in any case. They will support Chechen freedom fighters against RuZZian orcs one day while also emphasizing Israel as a bulwark against radical Islamic hordes the next.

~~America~~ West deserved 9/11 hasan-smash

Speaking of, my first exposure to Hasan is when he got that TYT show, and debated Cenk about capitalism, and then it immediately got canned, because he said 'America deserved 9/11’.

They trotted him out to apologize and basically publicly humiliate him in the process.

But now that Hasan has gotten so big, on his own, I think you can tell Cenk is super fucking insecure about it, and it's so fucking funny

I'd say Poland and Baltic/Balkan EU members are relatively privileged comprador states rather than the West Proper.
