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

They were slamming Trump the other day on CNN for wanting to negotiate a deal between the ukranzais and russia. Imagine Trump being the fucking peace maker?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Trump: lets build a wall, put families in cages and drill baby drill!

Dems: aight, sounds good enough.

Trump: lets negotiate a peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine.

Dems: "HES A DANGER TO DEMOCRACY!!!"

being the peace option compared to hillary-assassin was his successful strategy before

Really funny that Donald Trump could have a case made for being the 'harm reduction candidate', seeing as Harris et all want to keep this going, are 'fine' with everything Israel is doing, and her wanting to actually be to the right of Trump on immigration...

And by funny, I mean agony-immense

libbing-outspeech-side-l-1Ackshually, pulling out of Ukraine would be harm maximization because the savage Ruzzzzzzzzzzzz... 1 million "z"s later... zzzzzzians would invade all of the civilized and enlightened Western Europe. It's just more proof that Drumpf and Putler are .speech-side-l-2

I think the funniest possible outcome would be if putin somehow convinces trump that the Israeli genocide should stop, and trump becomes the anti-genocide candidate.

Imagine Trump being the fucking peace maker?

I think this is the liberal theory, on the grounds that it would tie in perfectly with his brand of isolationism.

With what soldiers??? Ukraine has a massive manpower shortage. Does he think the west will ship orphans to fight for Ukraine, or something?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

He just wants them to kidnap anybody off the street at this point, I assume. Orphan Brigade.

They are already talking about a possibility to draft Ukrainian refugees in NATO countries.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

more Ukrainian focus on mobilizing manpower, expanding its defense industry and building fortifications

Haven’t they been doing that the last two years? Does Booty here think they’ve got some bootstrapping left in them they haven’t tapped yet?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sometimes I suspect that the West is deliberately maximizing damage to Ukraine to ensure it will never be able to leave its sphere of influence.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

The Ukrainians are certainly not wavering.

They're fucking dead that's why. You absolute ghoul, you're staring at a corpse and are amazed at how it doesn't move.

Is it just me or did the language of "world peace" dissipate after the end of the cold war?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Peace in a world with imperialist powers can only be maintained by force of arms.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Of course it's from Max Boot.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

If they keep doing what hasn't worked at all in the last two years maybe they can try it again 😂
