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 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

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
Libs: "THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION THAT THERE'S GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG, AND IF YOU DARE TO BRING UP THE LACK OF EVIDENCE OF ANY SORT OF ABUSE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS YOU'LL GET BANNED!!!!"
Also libs: "Didn't you know that 15k of the 40k humans murdered in Gaza were actually terrorists? 
Also, lots of civilians die in wars like the one happening in Gaza, it's sad but inevitable"
Fuuuuuuuuuck this shit.
What do you believe to be the driving factor(s) that led to the current Russo-Ukranian conflict?
HAHAHAHA.
My 'hot' take is that your unsubstantiated assertion is contradicted by Putin's history. He was on the anti-communist side in the 90s, he has been against any sort of return to a planned economy throughout his terms, he has been in favour of stuff like monetisation of welfare, etc.
It's extremely silly to assert that he wants to 'bring back his glorious USSR' when his actions directly contradict that.
If you want to trust a career liar, then that's on you
Haha. So, you expect him to suddenly do a 180 and completely change his policies and selection of allies?
We analyze people by their actions, not their words.
Are you implying that his every action in the past 30 years has been a ruse? By that standard he is actually a Ukrainian nationalist and has been working towards hurtling Russia into a nuclear war to avenge Petliura. What that is contradicted by his actions? Wow you trust a career liar?
I never did. Notably, I never cared about his words.
how is he lying about his actions? you are genuinely very stupid
You're believing the US media about him, and they're the biggest career liars on earth. Saddam Hussein's People Shredder, anyone?
You people are so lobotomized by Good Guy Bad Guy Marvel slop, it's embarassing
if the Bad Man is a Liar I can make up whatever I wantjarringly incoherent NPC reply
He is a liar. He lied about being a communist so he could infiltrate the KGB and use his position for his own personal gain.
Notice how all the analysis thenother person did was about the actions he's taken and not the things he's said because everybody here not only knows he's a liar but knows that actions speak louder than words.
You're the one confusing words and actions, right from the get go when you said "let's do an expirement" and then made a completely uncontroversial statement.
Liberals are literally incapable of material analysis, they literally just make decisions based on what propoganda was presented to them most recently.
The liberal anti-communist wants to restore worker power and internationalism? The multi-billionaire that only pays lip service to communist aesthetics to maintain support among the older nostalgic generations wants to abdicate power to a system of democratic centralism?
They're so cooked, they conjure new realities that came to them in a dream and believe that dream to itself be reality.
I bet you're great at math
Try calculating how many people the soviets liberated.
I get paid to do it, so at least some people believe so.
Why didn't you answer my other questions, you're replying to my replies for other people, but not the ones directed at you?
It really doesn't cause a little itch in the back of your head to ignore the dozens of good faith replies you keep getting to make these shitlib reddit comments instead.
Do you legitimately consider yourself to be an honest and serious person?
Putin wanted to be a western lapdog so bad he even asked to join NATO and helped the Americans wage the War on Terror. The West didn't accept that, because they wanted every non-western country to be absolutely subservient and exploitable.
You are a deeply unserious person
Ok then what's your take?
I more or less agree with what others here have been telling you.
K. Thanks
You are trolling right? Dear god tell me you are a troll. Putin hates Communism, he blamed the war on the USSR giving autonomy to Ukraine in the first place. If you want to say he is a Tsarist that would be dumb but closer to the truth. This is just pure brainrot. Motherfucker was part of what was called the Yeltsin Family, the clique of capitalists selling out the USSR to the west. Why would he destroy the USSR only to weakly try to bring back small portions of its territory decades later?
You have no coherence, you have only knee-jerk responses based on regurgitated ideology
Sorry to spam you with replies but, while it is true that he's an irredentist, the idea that he has loyalty to the actual USSR when he is one of the people who helped kill it is completely ridiculous. He is not a communist and makes no secret of that fact.
Do you have any evidence of Putin wishing to reinstate the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? Why is Putin moving in a Capitalist direction, rather than Socialist? Why is the conflict specifically centered around regions of Ukraine, not the entirety, and why Ukraine specifically?
Do you believe history to be decided by Great Men, or by Material Conditions?
this couldn't be more embarrassing to witness if you had just publicly shit yourself.
hilarious layers here because Butcher Biden shit himself publicly and said Putin wants to restore the USSR!
You're a child
Most likely. I think you can do better insults than that though
He and his party are the liberals who carried out a coup and then formally dissolved the USSR against the wishes of the public, then spent the next twenty years eagerly collaborating with the US, sucking up to the US, and being propped up by the US. Even now he's just a sad old liberal trailing after the American far right and implementing American style reactionary laws in the hopes that they'll finally accept him, even with the ongoing war to keep American nukes from being parked a stone's throw away from Moscow.
Credit where credit is due: at least you deleted this fucking insane comment.
