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

"Revolution of Dignity" is such an incredibly jingoistic phrase. I can't decide if it came out of some neolib focus group or just a room full of fascists.
e: found some research about this, it was literally the nazi party of Ukraine that popularized the phrase

Sounds like some nonsense
would come up with
If we can light up Donbass civilians, we can light up Russian soldiers.
what's the difference?
Lanyard vs totenkopf
I refuse to believe that this long into the conflict, someone somewhere hasn't made a Totenkopf lanyard.
I've seen punisher lanyards, so close enough.
I swear that name didn’t even come around until years afterward, that it was just called the Maidan or Euromaidan Revolution for a long time. But I don’t really know, maybe I missed it.
Maybe the propagandists learned their lesson after they hyped up the Arab Spring and that whole thing brought nothing but misery.
I've literally never heard it called that before this thread. I found one article calling it that a year later, then a bunch of "5 years later on retrospective" type articles and no source for who coined the phrase
“My handlers at the CIA” isn’t something journalists usually cite
I dug in a bit more because it was driving me crazy, turns out it was coined in some speech by a Ukrainian politician around when it happend, but like no one called it that for years.
