the_dunk_tank
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

You could also go in another direction with it where war becomes a constant negotiation.
"We would like to bomb your arms manufactories three days from now. In return we will allow you to strike three minor ports or one major with 5 days notice."
"Unacceptable, we will not give you more than two days notice or you can move away too much of the goods in the ports."
"Are you mad? We can't move away all the civilians with just two days notice. 4 days notice, one major port and one minor. Take it or leave it."
"Hmm you drive a hard bargain. You have a deal, but we want favourable terms next meeting"
"Fine, I'll have the mediator take it into account next time. Well, this has been productive. Have a nice day and may you die like the dog you are, swine."
"Thank you and drive safe on your way home on your shitty roads in your terrible country you godcursed cattlefucker."
~~In a coincidence~~ I just posted this - https://hexbear.net/comment/5456275
I guess I have to stop saying "in a coincidence" I'm doomscrolling even when I should be sleeping and the US media has gone mask off about Iran. It's eerily like their post 9/11 behavior. They're baying for blood and war but pretending to be calm, even tempered, and focused on geostrategic goals.
