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

This shit is going to blowback into the West hard when mainstream acceptance of Ukrainian Nazis enables acceptance of home grown Nazis.

Home grown Nazis were already going secretly to Ukraine for training, now they will do it loud and proudly.

Conspiracy-brain here: the US is funding this war until Nazis are legally recognized as oppressed minorities in other countries and allowed refugee status after popular opinion starts leaning in favor of them. We're just not producing enough of them organically, need to pump those numbers up.
