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

Biden can "defeat" Putin very easily, win elections. Just sanction Israel, wipe all of student debts and give stimulus cheques. It's his choice.

Nah, it on us "fucking tankies" to get in line and support another version of the forever war.

I'll never understand how we're the tankies.

lenin-pogger The workers of the world have nothing to gain by taking part in the imperialist war effort

This afternoon he could reschedule THC, say "no more offensive weapons" for Israel, call Donald Trump an asshole, and basically secure victory in the election.

Supporting either side in this idiotic war over religion is stupid.

Yea, who can forget the famous religion called International law

This looks very convoluted. Surely if Russia was that powerful with goals that specific they would go about it in a more direct manner. Rube goldbergmachine politics.

Everything is 4d chess to libs.

Weirdly enough, I can see future historians conclude that Trump loses the upcoming election because he was the anti-war candidate. Then the Ukraine Russia Syria Israel Palestine Iran conflict gets a few World War DLCs. 50% of my extended family in Russia and Ukraine get annihilated for whatever war reasons. I'm sitting in NY unable to do anything interesting or useful other than post online and watch war crime tiktoks. WW3 ends with most of the world in shambles. Taiwan and China peacefully cooperated the entire time without changing the status quo. Next US president mad about it, does nothing about the AI driven LayoffsForAll, launching the entire first world into a self imposed century of humiliation.

The way these idiots try to sound so smart, but can't resist resorting to reddit swearing is enough to make me want to punch a wall

There's something about their patter that's so "kids playing soldier", or nerd kid playing West Wing. They talk like how they think their grizzled smart political thriller characters talk "The Russians are getting all buddy buddy with Iran, and if we don't upload that dossier to HQ then all of Europe can kiss it's ass goodbye." Racks pistol, lights cig, corrects woman.

lol they wish women were around them to correct

I love the idea of making biden look bad, as if he or any other USA politician aren't pretty ghoulish enough. Like biden has a long list of vile shit he did. But no somehow a foreign interference will make him look bad.

Its 2024 they still hold on to xyz is influencing our precious democracy to elect a damn cheeto into white house.
