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

War Takes was invited on WTYP by Liam Anderson, and after watching the episode with him in it, I was immediately enamored with how shitty and neoliberal his twitter account was. A banner image that features a US tank with a socdem rose on it next to his fursona, and endless tropes like "if you think a CIA did a coup in bolivia, you are denying the wholesome agency of the people who overthrew the authoritarian for having 4 terms" and "the online tankies whine about azov because they love vladolf putler."

side note: occam's razor is useful for things like "does the earth revolve around the sun or vice versa?" not messy political situations.

i mean look at this shit outright justifying what NATO did to yugoslavia:

EDIT: Chronically bad takes

He was on WTYP and associates with Liam? Why am I not surprised lol. Can't stand that guy.

Overuses the hell out of the word "cynical', too. It's in basically every second tweet. This guy sucks.
