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 want this childlike brain so I can dance through the world thinking the sun is a smiling baby and every bottle under the sink contains juice. No worries, just fun.

Literally all wars end by either compromise or destruction of one side or the other.

Liberals are on the side of destruction. What they fail to understand though is that they are on the side of destruction of the Ukrainian people who simply can not win this war.

The side trying to save lives is the side trying to end the war.

Liberals on an actually complex geopolitical situation where both sides are pretty shit: "there's no compromise"

Liberals on literally any other issue, including the very not complex genocide happening in Gaza: "compromise?"

"Israel-Palestine is very nuanced and complicated, the left's black-and-white thinking on this topic is childish and unhelpful"

rewinds two years

"It's pretty simple: Voldemort Putler wants to conquer all of Europe because he's mad that he's short"

Bro I heard Russia is about to invade the EU. Better watch out🤣

Because solving this at the treaty table is how the deaths of Ukrainians is stopped. The status quo is just throwing them into the meat grinder in the name of US interests.

"Just a little friendly nuclear exchange, what could go wrong?"

The news of the French sending troops to Ukraine really got to me yesterday. We are being ruled over by delusional madmen.

Liberals think everything that's not genocide is genocide, and that genocide isn't genocide. It's infuriating. No, Russia is not going to destroy the Ukrainian people. They were actually trying pretty hard to avoid killing Ukrainians in the first phase of the war, but you had to turn the SMO into a prolonged war due to your aversion to actual geopolitics!

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Classic projection of our colonial ambitions on our rivals. Liberals needed the most urgent possible excuse to support nazis, so they settled on "The Russian invader horde is coming to genocide everyone! (Trust me bro)"

Meanwhile, actual genocide in Gaza is "complicated"

I don't want a compromise, I simply do not care that two reactionary countries want to fuck each other up.

Although the weakening of NATO is always a good thing for the world.

Liberals have no understanding of context.

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not just two reactionary countries fucking each other up, it's real people being conscripted to die.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

You're right. I'm just fucking tired.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't want Russians to die or Ukrainians to die. I just want to see PugJesus go to Ukraine and die.

I'm surprised he hasn't enlisted yet ngl

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I'll only ever take a trumpeter seriously if they're in a position to be captured for it. Even then they're a dumbass whose legacy is a drone bombing video, but I'll at least mock them in the comment section. A coward like this is the lowest form of "fight my dad" guy.

[–] trabpukcip@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Love to see the same meme format that we use to mock Dems endlessly compromising with bloodthirsty Repubs at the expense of vulnerable populations being repurposed for this drivel.

Hey Ukraine, tired of all this western support yet? When you are, we have some of the best prosthetic limbs that money can buy

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's really gross and Orwellian how liberals just pretend the Russian-speaking people of Eastern Ukraine just don't fuckin exist
