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

Trump is not and never was serious about anything to do with the Presidency... and wanted to leave NATO.

Lmao.

Death to NATO nato-cool

Trump wanted to leave NATO because he has no idea how US imperialism works, think of him as Homer Simpson pressing random buttons at the control room. Leftists hate NATO because it is the military arm of modern day imperialism. A "defensive alliance" that starts wars wherever it goes, and whose original staff members were actual 1940s German Nazis.

It was done in response to months of active attacks which could've hurt people and has diverted a lot of global trade traffic to go around South Africa.

So global trade is more important than Palestinian lives? You know what would've been a better way to get global trade back on track? To get Israel to stop committing genocide against Palestinians. One phone call from Biden telling Israel they won't get any more US ammunition, and Israel would be forced to stop it's genocide. If Biden was a "serious person" he would do just that. That's the whole reason the Houthi government of Yemen is carrying out the blockade in the first place. To put pressure on Israel, and the "international community" to stop the genocide of Palestinians.
