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

In case anyone missed it, Ukkkraine has had an out and out Russian defector neo-nazi in leadership for a while (archived): https://www.politico.eu/article/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-the-ukraine-war/

Moscow’s continual attempt to cast their struggle as a rerun of World War II against Nazism rings hollow in reality, however. Not only is Ukraine’s president Jewish but far-right extremist parties have near negligible support in national representative politics.

Right Sektor anti-Semite Dmitro Korchynsky saying he was disappointed in the Ukrainian people for electing a Jewish person as president, but points out that it is convenient that the president is Jewish, because it means that it is harder to accuse Ukraine of Nazism

Fuck Zelensky even wears Nazi merch.

The “representative politics” point doesn’t prove anything when you have Nazi paramilitaries in the streets, multiple leaders praising Nazi collaborators and Nazis in the military, and Nazi collaborator monuments protected by the state.

Nazis have been fleeing to Ukraine for the past decade, the media's only now just catching up to how many damn rats built their nests there.

The media was talking about it right up until the start of the war, or at least right up to 2014. Can't remember which. There's some memes out there showing the abrupt shift from the same papers.

Yep. If I'm not wrong that terrorist in New Zealand also visited Ukraine to see his Nazi friends
