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

This is in response to a post on Hasans subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hasan_Piker/comments/174i8qt/libs_be_like/

Vaushites and Destiny fans are brigading like crazy and leaving behind their State Department logic.

ipso facto

Pretensions, tedious and exhausting overly complex dreck. Ispo Facto is my least favorite math rock band.

  • Concerns about the presence of neonazi elements in the Ukrainian political and military body are not the same thing as saying Ukraine lacks a right to self-defense. Also, Hamas does not rule the Palestinian Territories, Israel has the real control.
  • Fundamentally different situations. Russia is currently only occupying the separatist regions, and their demand are limited to Ukraine de-militarizing, de-Nazifying, and explicitly renouncing the possibility of NATO membership. It’s not being occupied outright.
  • Lastly, there’s waaaaaay more hypocrisy going the other direction. There’s plenty of people on the left who support Ukraine morally, if not necessarily Western “assistance”, and also support Palestinian struggle. Whereas the libs who support Ukraine despite the neonazis, have overwhelmingly condemned the Palestinians attack. As usual, the lib-left would rather line up “tankie” cans to shoot down with their air rifle than go after real targets.

Why should I support Ukraine if I support Palestine? Not even Ukraine supports Palestine. They view themselves as a Slavic Israel. Therefore, I will apply Ukraine's generalized, sloppy thinking here and dislike Ukraine as well as Israel.

I've somehow missed any of Destiny's stuff till recently, but I'm already hating him on equal footing to Vaush.
