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

cool designs sure. battlefield tactics and their military is terrible, like both in the lore and just on screen as well
And yet, some of the worst Empireheads are the old EU nerds
They point at Grand Admiral Thrawn just like all the Wehraboos who idolize Rommel
And guys, I don't think being a fan of the "brilliant tactical mind who fights for their empire despite disagreeing with it ideologically" trope makes a difference
just like Rommel's 'disagreement' with the Nazis is overwrought and superficial; Thrawn was still a fascist, just less racist by virtue of being a Blue Guy
With Zahn seemed to know on some level in HTTE, and then shifted from by the end of the trilogy, and by the time Hand of Thrawn comes out he is rehabilitating his precious Thrawn.
