In this post, I saw a lot of people coming to Bad Empanada's defense, and felt like they may be uninformed about his actual positions of things, so I felt that this ought to be posted.

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

Ukraine is such a fascinating litmus test because the correct option is "neither" or "I hope the side backed by the U.S suffers total failure in their stated or professed objectives" and it's not that hard a take to make, given the U.S is run by demonic ghouls.
No you see I'm pro Ukrainian people
And by that I mean shoving conscripted civilians into a meat grinder of a war thats been lost over a year ago so the US stock market can go up 3.5%.
I'm the morally correct one, you all are just evil RuZZia bots that want Putler to win so he can bring back muh Soviet empire
(Israeli flag in bio)
Had me on the first half.
A concerningly large portion of people with the kind of takes you're parodying have both Ukrainian and Palestinian flags in their bio. Somehow they aren't able (willing?) to see the contradiction there.
If they are pro ceasefire in Ukraine I don't think there's a contradiction it just makes them anti war.
Idk about the others though, maybe they are just uneducated on how bad the situation in Ukraine is? Gaza is front and center on social media and a lot of protests are happening. Ukraine is way more locked down in mainstream media as an underdog constantly about to beat Russia.
Nobody is pro ceasefire putting the flag in their bio, they want Ukraine to beat back the evil ruzzians
