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

The US put them in positions of leadership in the 2014 coup, because they were a big part of that effort. They are probably just hanging around and letting everyone else do the fighting. The Nazis are probably still not very popular in Ukraine, even as they are seen as the ultimate anti-Russia guys because Russia = USSR = the people who won WW2 against their hero Hitler.

Since 2014 they also spent a lot of effort indoctrinating the youth with summer camps, where children were taught Ukrainian nationalism.
