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

The liberal brainwashing is complete, they're as rabid as neo-cons.

I think a lot of people have a completely non-material, vibes based, idealistic view of warfare. It's not about soldiers and missiles and satellites and industry, it's just good guys and bad guys and the good guys should win because they're the good guys.

soldiers and missiles and satellites and industry

many of them actually go bonkers for that shit. The war being the main headline generator gives them an excuse to indulge in their obsessive jingoism and military fetish because it's topical and they get to show off how smart they are by regurgitating specs they memorized from Lockheed Martin brochures.
