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

Everything that happened between 1917 and 1990, in Russia, was Colonialist. Then they got a brief reprieve during the period in which Gorbachev and Yeltsin brought the liberating free market energy of Fukuyama's End of History capitalism into the heart of the Soviet Union and everything was cool until, idk, 2010 maybe? But once Putin put on the One Ring and joined House Slytherin, he fell to the Dark Side of the Force and was corrupted by the Infiniti Stones. That's when the evil Russian colonialism started again. And so now we're in a Glorious Liberal Crusade to free all the Lost Peoples of Eastern Europe from the tyranny of the Russian Oligarchs.
If you're a Real Leftist who has accepted the Spirit of Woke into your heart, you'll hear the call of the Horn of Gondor and Avengers Assemble online to tell all those Russian Bots to Get Off My Plane. Because we're not anything like the Old America of that Evil Tyrant Trump. We're New America and we're Fighting The Good Fight. Ignore Wikipedia. That's propaganda. Don't trust it. Trust me, the guy who is on the internet right now. Ukraine is Good and Russia is Evil. If you don't pick the right side, we'll know that you're an Ork and its okay for us to do literally anything to you as a result.
Everything before 1917? That was princess Anastasia having really cute ballroom dancing parties.
