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

Americans have never been able to take responsibility for their actions.

So the campaign is to use people's compassion for others, but done by countries they say are the ones who don't care about human life?

How can they not see it???

The standard (and incredibly fash) line is that they're cynically manipulating the Notoriously Compassionate USians because our compassion is actually our greatest weakness against the unfeeling removed of the East.

I think NATO entered the collective consciousness of reddit in March 2022 and never left. I don't remember seeing any references to NATO before then. Now everybody has to be a self-described NATO expert in order to appeal to the crowd?

if you asked these people how they feel about conspiracy theories they'd laugh and tell you they're simplistic narratives produced by the mentally unwell

The thing I hate most about other americans is that the weird conspiratorial bent to their politics is almost always directed conspicuously away from the stuff that actually matters like the CIA's bullshit)
