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

Whoops I cut off their reply halfway thru.

I know you all hate Ukraine and think they should lay down and let Russia steamroll into Kiev and annex the whole country. But reality doesn't always reflect your geopolitical wet dreams.

Geopolitics is when you think people shouldn't die in a senseless war. It's also somehow unrealistic

Yeah they should just submit to a genocidal invader! That's WAY better than dying!

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago

The only one cheering for a genocide of Ukrainians is you buddy. I think they shouldn't die in a massive murder machine.

The intentional destruction of a people in whole or in part. Russia is doing that to Ukraine.

We have evidence of Ukraine banning the use of the Russian language, import of Russian books, Russian music, the banning of "pro-Russian" political parties. So we know Ukraine is engaging in what could be called cultural genocide. I'd love to see your evidence of actual genocide happening, though. I'm sure it's real!

This is in no way equivalent hahaha. What kinda swill do they hand out in the IRA breakrooms these days?

Russia is invading the heartland of another distinct ethnicity and purging it. Ukraine is not doing that. It is simply clamping down on political liberties to ensure a stable war economy and political situation. This happens in every country that is forced to fight for it's own existence.

Perhaps the Ukrainians should concentrate the population that shows Russian sympathy into small camps

You know, to keep a better eye on them and to ensure the security of the Ukrainian identity against the perfidy of the Russian abhumans

Funny that one of the Baltic states proposed exactly this.

e: this was the wrong thread for this, but it still kinda works

Why yes, poor people in another country should die so I can sound like a smart wargame strategist on my forums.

HoI IV was a mistake and considered by many historians to be a bad idea

Libs straight up just manifesting 40K lore into the real world, these people are sick

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Libs make Field Marshal Haig look like a competent and compassionate strategist

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

at least Haig spent a lifetime of upperclass conditioning to not consider the lower classes that made up the soldiery to be full people what's this guy's excuse

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

What's this guy's excuse?
