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

Kadiivka (Ukrainian: Кадіївка) or Stakhanov (Russian: Стаханов), is a city in Alchevsk Raion, Luhansk Oblast, Donbas, eastern Ukraine. It is located on the Komyshuvakha River, a right tributary of the Luhan.[1] Ukraine renamed the city Kadiivka in 2016, and refers to the city by this name, however Ukraine has not controlled the city since early 2014.[2][3][4]
On 15 February 1978, the city was renamed Stakhanov (Ukrainian: Стаханов; Russian: Стаханов) after the famous Soviet miner Alexei Stakhanov, who started his career there.

(Ukrainian: Стаханов; Russian: Стаханов
Imagine being so good at your job they name a whole city after you.
Oh WOW.
You're telling me that when the anti-nato segments of the population, Crimea and Donbass, all became no longer part of the data, suddenly it swung towards support?
Wow. This is incredible. Truly nobody could predict that when you change the data, the result changes. Wow. Truly amazing.
What does this even prove though? The point with NATO antagonism is the Russian concerns about NATO being an aggressor towards Russian territory. How their neighbors feel about NATO isn’t the point.
More tellingly, of the 30 member states in NATO before 2022, only 6 held democratic referendums before joining. And of those 6, most held democratic referendums during high budget information campaigns urging everyone that it was absolutely necessary to join NATO. NATO was always about maintaining American hegemony over Europe after WW2, because the alternative was Europe going socialist... not because of "Soviet Imperialism" but because of popular support for socialism. Notice how popular support for socialism is always framed as "imperialism" emanating from the largest socialist country, but unpopular enforcement of capitalism is never framed as "imperialism" emanating from the largest capitalist country. Odd.
