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?

Chyna is obviously the most violent nation because they are neutral in all current wars and only a true bad guy would not take a side!

To anybody reading this who is confused about Hexbear’s opinion on the Ukraine war, I will simplify it as much as possible in terms of increasing badness:

War is bad.

Ethnonationalist war is worse.

Imperialist war is even worse than that.

Imperial expansion is the worst, as it forces the previous three into existence.

And so:

Ethnonationalist war is worse.

⬆️ Russia is doing this and we don’t like that.

Imperial expansion is the worst, as it forces the previous three into existence.

⬆️ America is doing this and we don’t like that even more.

Sorry but Putin was happy to let Donetsk and Lugansk fend for themsleves if they got the guarantees they wanted in February 2022. There's no ethnonationalist interest from the side of Russia here.

Literally all of that is true what’s not fucking clicking?

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

US propaganda is too good. You can have all the facts and evidence in the world, but we've all been raised since birth under this cloud of indoctrination to the point that it's very difficult to accept things way out of the mainsteam political discourse. It sounds as batshit to hear that there was no massacre at Tiannemen Square as it does that the moon landings were faked, and moon landing people can cite sources too. The difference is that if you investigate, which most people wont do because it feels like a waste of time, the former is true and the latter is BS.

It takes effort to convince people that real conspiracies are real because we've been taught to spot cobspiracy theories that arent and have been taught not to investigate things that don't feel truthy.

I thought they defederated

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they did but we still live rent free in their heads

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

I guess whatever instance that OP is on is defederated from lemmy.ml because I can't seem to find this post anywhere.

Love how they cry about hexbear being an echochamber when they preemptively defederate from instances with differing opinions.
