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

The funniest thing is that there isn't a lot more that America could have done to support the Saudi genocide in Yemen. Like we did everything up to invading and occupying the whole country with American troops

We didn't do agitprop on Reddit with Navy TikToks. This was the missing ingredient.

We're going to liberate Yemen, folks.

mission-accomplished

We should've helped Saudi get the job done during their war. Blockade the ports and cut off arms coming in from Iran.

Yes, after all what is a peninsular famine among friends.

Considering that the houthi blockade is blocking UN food aid from going to multiple countries, I say let them starve. Their blockade is causing many others to starve, so if ending their blockade requires starving them, so be it.

Ah yes, the classic neoliberal argument tactic: lying

So I've been playing a lot of Helldivers 2. Awesome game, and one of the key mechanics is stratagems - you type ina little code on d-pad, then throw out a ball with a signal light for air/orbital support. A section of these are "eagle" strikes, where a plan circling in support flies in and drops an attack super quickly. The most satisfying of these is the simple airstrike: type the code, throw the ball, and three seconds later a barrage of heavy bombs drops on the target.

Now, when I see genocidal maniacs, I think to myself, "an eagle airstrike would solve this person in seconds flat".
