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

Putin is a black belt in Judo, he'd twist Musk-Man into a pretzel and eat him alive. I'd love to see it.
No I would just have someone shoot him if he was serious about fighting.
Either that or we’d drink and feast together. I haven’t seen Elon since last year’s Davos.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not enjoying this bit account at all. The Neera one is so obviously ghoulish it works, but this "Putin is the new Chuck Norris" has that weird energy where the irony doesn't quite work as an effective condemnation.
Breaking the bit:
Putin is not the new Chuck Norris. He’s a right-wing capitalist who helped coup the remnants of the USSR’s government.
Intent of this account is to show that Putin is a fucking ghoul and not someone to cheer for. This is admittedly difficult when:
Ukraine is currently swarming with fucking nazis who are being actively trained and equipped by NATO.
Most western critique/ satire of Putin is based in warmongering, homophobia/transphobia (unacceptable), or state department propaganda.
Leftists must remember that both Russia and Ukraine are bourgeoisie states being pitted against each other by NATO after 8+ years of failed attempts at peace negotiations. The west should not get involved. The only people to support are the working people of both countries and the remnants of the People’s Republics, such that they are.
Regardless, a full collapse of Russia would create something even worse than Putin and be a complete disaster. It would also remove a vital trading partner for most AES projects and further damage their efforts. Again, I am not saying the Russian Federation is socialist, it just inherited many of those trade relationships.
I edited the last comment to reflect that, thank you for the feedback that I needed to tighten that up.

RESUMING THE BIT
:rat-salute:
I’m not irony poisoned, just a murderous anti-communist asshole.
