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

Seymour Hersh thinks this move will result in a mutiny. From a couple weeks ago:

https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/the-president-vs-the-general

“Of course, Zelensky knew that Zaluzny was dealing with the West,” the official said. “But Zelensky will be a dead man walking with the army, which is in favor of the general. He’s going to have a mutiny on his hands."

Zelensky would be the perfect patsy to take a fall. He'd be fuel for the typical Ukrainian oligarchs to gain their reputation back after Poroshenko messed it up. "see what attempting change gets you?" And he'd be regarded as Zelensky the Jewish traitor by Ukraine's fascist scum.

I'm trying to think of a historical figure he'll be similar to.

They're not even having elections in Ukraine, like what is their plan? Is it just Slava Zelensky forever?
