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 can't believe Washington and the EU started legitimizing the Double Holocaust narrative for these losers. f

easy thing to say when 2% of your country's gdp amounts to maybe five bucks

The Baltic States' main cultural exports are Hitler particles and NAFO. Reddit countries.

Reddit hates the Hungarian government, but are strangely cool with the Baltic governments hmmm 🧐🤔

You know what this current global situation needs? A good old-fashioned arms race. What could go wrong?

Imagine being a mid-sized US suburb and belligerently insisting that the only way forward is for your entire nation to be wiped out on day one of a war you provoked for literally no reason.

Russia could drop a decently sized rock from a biplane and take out half their military capability

"Return to Tradition" I chant, as I mobilize my population for Total War.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Baltics don't have enough population to enable the mobilization option on the strategy screen

The great thing about IRL over video games is that you absolutely can just press-gang chunks of your miniscule population (or import a shit ton of foreign mercenaries with inherited loot of a prior generation) whether or not a video game developer considers it a prudent tactical choice.

increasing military budgets by 50 percent because a country, with a population of satellite city, is big mad about their nazi grandpa

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's kinda weird, because Lithuania was the least Nazified Baltic state in 1940s.

whiteys accounts are also constantly whining about based lithuanian soldiers and godless commies soviet-hmm

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Based Lithuanian soldiers from 16th Lithuanian Rifle Division.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm now actually wondering, lithuanian soldiers and sailors were at least noticeable part of revolution, what do they teach in lithuanian schools about it? that they were confused in national liberation struggle?

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

You probably confuse them with Latvian Riflemen.

Lithiania has 2.8 million people, which is about the same as the metro area of St. Louis.

edit: the US has 20 cities with metro populations greater than all of Lithuania

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was 3.7 million in 1991.

My city will soon outnumber them

the Polish president went to Washington a few weeks ago asking for 3% GDP for all NATO members and they told him to chill out
