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 [email protected]

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 Central Powers were also assholes. Germany invaded neutral countries (one of the reasons the war kept escalating), there was the Armenian Genocide conducted by the Ottomans, and they were the first to use chemical weapons and mostly against civilians.

Of course, the Entente was in it for imperialism as they would divide the carcasses of their enemies between themselves. The US was no different. I can see how people could draw conclusions about involvement in WWI as justified, but those justifications go out the window once you look at what happened post-war. It becomes obvious the entire conflict was a meaningless slaughter all so bourgeois could eradicate what was left of the nobility, then take their place as the boot stepping on the proletariat.

The sad thing is, the american populace far and away saw the actual reason the Entente was involved. Before, during, and after American involvement.
