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

I always fnd it weird how libs always single out one dude to ascibe all the evils of a country to. It's always "POOTIN" or "DRUMF" as if getting rid of a single "bad guy" would solve all of their issues with a country even though their governments would still remain.
Really childish understanding of societal issues and how countries are run.
The US and Russia are run by a collection of oligarchs and unspoken agreements/collaborations bewteen the wealthy. It's not going to get better just because you replaced Trump with Biden and it's not going to get better if we get rid of just Putin either.
Even if it WAS how it worked, their solution still doesn't make sense. Get rid of Putin because he's doing evil shit using the Russian state? Have you considered that 3 of the 7 guys who could potentially replace him might be even MORE evil than he is? No, everything will be okay when the Avengers come together to take out the big bad
It's the same ideology that says it's not capitalism it's crony capitalism that is the issue. The cult of the individual
It's reflective in their propaganda too, every enemy the US has drummed up in the media (like Castro, etc.) are singled out as the big bad guys, they always say "if we kill this one dude, everything will be fine! Everyone wil have freedom! Trust us!"
The assumption seems to be that the death of a "big bad guy" will invariably lead to a US-backed colour revolution, and "everything being fine" is just code for "US businesses can buy up everything for pennies and the treats will flow better!"
