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 am genuinely confused by hexbear too

Is it a site for queer people or for beanis lovers?

Hexbears can’t answer the question “is it ok to kill civilians” without asking “Palestinian or Ukrainian?”

Prolonging the war saves Ukrainian lives how? Really, someone from an outside instance answer. I promise not to debate you and just take your opinion.

For some non-Hexbearians reading this: I actively want to prevent Ukrainian conscripts (many of whom are avoiding the draft) from getting chewed up in the meat grinder. Yes, Russia bad. But I have zero control over what Russia does, wheres my own leaders are trying to drag this war out until every able bodied person in Ukraine is disabled or dead.

People on here have always been critical of the west’s bloodthirsty enthusiasm for depleted uranium on Ukrainian soil (people have to live here after this shit!), Ukrainian industry and properties being privatized, refugees being mistreated by Europeans, conscripts (hell we’re more charitable to these guys compared to IDF conscripts because Israelis aren’t fleeing their “country” to escape the draft), and we even become perplexed by the west’s so called aid to Ukraine that’s full of inefficient military contractors looking for a quick buck first before helping Ukraine’s military, or how Ukraine’s local governments are corrupt and failed to build proper defenses to stop Russians and no consequences were dealt by the Ukrainian government

These westoids don’t give a fuck about any of that. As far as they’re concerned, the ghost of Kyiv is still kicking ruzzyianaski ass 50000:1

yeah, like, even if we pretend the west is awesome cool democracy and russia needs to be destroyed, HOW IS THIS INCOMPETENT MESS YOU'RE DOING GONNA ACHIEVE THAT???

but no, we just have to want it very hard and it'll come.

I will reciprocate their vibes-based take on what Hexbears think, and presume that they believe Putin would just be emboldened by victory in Ukraine and promptly invade another country. Thus, the war can only stop if Putin is defeated.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 56 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Liberals unironically believe this

[–] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While simultaneously believing that a single Western tank can destroy an entire brigade of Russian ones without taking damage, and that a single F-16 is sufficient to maintain a permanent no fly zone

Geez the HUD in the movie did not age well. It looks like someone did it in MS Paint.

U C, Putin is actually Hitler, and Hitler wanted to conquer to world, so Putin wants to conquer the world.

Just don't ask why Russia is only invading Ukraine. They do want all the other countries too.

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But then you could easily say that Russia only has the economic power to fight one enemy at a time

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

Did I mention that Hitler and Putin are also Voldemort? That might help.

[–] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Not just why only Ukraine, but Putin has been at the head of Russia for over 25 years. Before Ukraine the only military interventions Putin got Russia involved in were in places that were in Russia (Chechnya and Dagestan). I guess there’s Syria but even libs don’t see that one beyond just aiding Assad.

If Putin wants to conquer Europe he sure is taking his sweet time.

I saw a map of “countries Russia likely to invade next” and it was literally the CSTO.

This is the only materialist take
