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'm not trying to be rude because your original question seemed to be asked in decent faith, but this is an absurdly simplistic and unrealistic view.
Do you actually think that if Putin had a heart attack tomorrow the war would end? This is war caused by over a decade of political decisions and serious material interests. No one in Putin's government, party, the media, or even the opposition would support a Russian surrender or peace agreement that doesn't maintain regions like the Donbas.
And beyond that, Russia has no incentive to withdraw prematurely but plenty of very serious reasons not to.
It's a different lib this time, probably an aussie, let em have it
There is a lot of concern trolling and "good faith, I just want to know" in front of a lot of bigoted people. I can understand the aggressive stance.
I totally agree, but plenty of people taken that stance already so I thought there might be value in taking a different tack.
