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

Ironically, this person is probably deifying Trump just as much, if not more, than his supporters by claiming that his death would turn the tide of the Russia-Ukraine War and that it would have any pull on China.

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced.

Ahh right, because losing 69,420 tanks per week didn't cause Russian morale to collapse, but Trump dying will put Russian organization below the threshold necessary to attack. All Ukraine has to do is walk one Cavalry unit to Moscow to capture the sweet VPs there.

China similarly backs off it's threats on Taiwan

Chinese General: "President Xi, the Americans are in disarray and will likely be in political paralysis for at least six months as the parties fight for control. Now is the time to strike."

Xi, Fu-Manchu-ly stroking his beard and leaning back into the shadows: "No, my friend. Now... We wait."

they just openly admit to nazi thinking without even realizing it. triumph of will shit.

russia isnt winning because they have more men, more weapons and more industry. no. it's because the people in the kremlin have very good morale.

I call this "fascist magical thinking". It's the same play as the Nazis and Imperial Japan had during WWII. Kick the weak democracies and the removed communists hard enough and they'll just surrender.
