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

This began as a refugee crisis caused by the Syrian war and hasn't stopped since. Tens of thousands did migrate illegally or claim refugee status, this caused a massive reaction and the popularity of the far right in europe that we see today stems from it as the primary starting point.
It only took 30,000 or so to cause this, and it is also the primary driving force of Brexit.
With that information in mind, imagine what millions will cause as climate change really starts to make things bad.
And people ask me why I am so
about climate change when everyone else is like "I guess I'll move to Canada"
It's going to get really ugly.
The only non-socialist people who appreciate the human component of climate change are fascists who agree that there's a problem but their solution is genocide.
Again,
Canada will be invaded by the USA
There were seven million refugees living within the EU in 2021. The Syrian refugee crisis in 2015 alone was 1.5 million people.
I'm talking about Britain specifically in relation to being a major cause of Brexit. But saying 30,000 is fairly relevant to most european countries as a rough figure except Germany. Or was, it's a little higher now maybe 40 to 50 is a better generalisation.
