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

Calling war, death, and killing an investment is pure financebro brain. And a lot of reddit-logo financebros are thirsty for (vicariously experienced) bloodshed. hypersus

Doubly something because they're certainly not investing their own lives. It's not like the boys on the front are counting on the folks back home to recycle and plant a victory garden. This is someone else's kids dying thousands of miles away, and the Lib's only contribution is paying their taxes and shitposting on behalf of NATO.

This is all being done by a government that pays no measurable attention to public sentiment, that they have no say in or influence on, and that is just going to do whatever it wants regardless of what they think or try to do about it.

Or maybe we found Hideo Kojima's account and he's just trying to make the War Economy real.

The War Economy was real. It was just a slight exaggeration of GWOT profiteering and propaganda.
