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

Never forget that the Army wants its own much larger fleet of Ospreys. We're talking about the V280 Valor, they want to replace all Blackhawks with those starting in 2030.

A thousand Ospreys! Unlimited crashes! Endless VTOL genocide!

Actually went ahead and looked up some numbers - as long as the Army doesn't change its plan, production will begin in 2027 already and the V-280 will have to replace at least 3,000 Blackhawks and Apaches. Oh and this crap will get pushed on the allies, so get ready for Fallschirmjagers drowning in the Baltics in this POS contraption lol.

Comrades Bell Helicopter and Boeing are about to kill way more Imperialist soldiers than any first world leftist movement has in a long time.

I want to believe that there's some aircraft engineers sitting around a table like sicko-pig
