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

"Formerly your biggest advesary"

Like yeah if you spend decades scaring yourself with ghost stories I guess the result seems impressive for spending over a hundred billion dollars. This is like the bear patrol episode of the simpsons.

"They also have the ability to sever Europe's need for Russian energy"

How's that working out so far?

The VA comment is ![matt-jokerfied](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/87eb5059-58b3-4f4d-92ba-640310e16575.png "emoji matt-jokerfied"). Omg literally just mask off "it's not our boys dying"

"They also have the ability to sever Europe's need for Russian energy"

I assume this is because the official story atm seems to be that Ukraine blew up Nordstream 2 (and definitely without any help from the Americans wink wink nudge nudge)

That, but even that has resulted in Europe buying Russian gas from India as a much more expensive price so the argument isn't even true

The Ukraine War is a tragedy because Hollywood won't be able to produce Shoot and Cry movies since Americans don't want to read subtitles.

They can do it hunt for red october style where everyone starts speaking in a cheesy accent
