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

normally peaceful country

War in Ukraine started in 2022 when Putler invaded them for no reason. Nothing happened before that.

This is like HOI4 when another player declares war on you for no reason at all other than "i must paint the whole map of my color"

Being normally peaceful is when you shell civilians in contravention of the ceasefire agreement you signed, and the more you shell civilians in contravention of the ceasefire agreement you signed, the more normally peaceful you are.

Peace is when cluster bombs. The more of your own civilians you kill with cluster bombs, the more peaceful it is.

The war Ukraine is doing is justified because they're White and the Russians are, somehow, not white enough. But when it was the DPRK who tried to drive the aggressor out of their peninsula The International Community (TM) said that was a big no-no so the US intervened being forced to bomb civilians as a punishment.

When it's the non-westerners who try to free their land, bombs must fall on their homes. See them call for military intervention in Niger and Burkina Faso because they're being anti-French (BASED)
