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 lurk on anti-West left-wing subs and isolationist right-wing communities to see what they think of the war in Ukraine and pretty consistently I hear them sarcastically say something along the lines of "I thought Ukraine was winning and destroying the Russian military 5:1, but now they need $100 billion in aid or else they'll conquer all of Europe? Fuck off."

When the narrative is as one-sided as it was for many of us, it does unfortunately lead to tunnel vision regarding the conflict and the actual reality of it. Not to mention vindicating the mistrust these type of people have for the "popular" narrative/news regarding a subject.

"Sure they were right, but only because they were also wrong!"

-Every Lib like 2-10 years after they criticize anyone.
