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

Libs know exactly ONE thing about history - that Chamberlain tried to appease Hitler by letting him take the Sudetenland, and it didn’t stop him - and think it’s some universal truth that applies in every situation.

That exact analogy has been used by high ranking US officials to justify nearly every conflict since the WWII, including Korea, Vietnam, and the War on Terror.

It's also not true at all, i.e not a fact. Chamberlain wanted to collaborate with Hitler, not appease him.

Of course this is only surprising to Liberals who can't imagine why the leader of the British Empire would be a fascist 🤔💭◻️

If we aren't constantly killing millions of people, we might fail to kill the next Hitler.

But also remember that killing Hitler would make you just as bad as Hitler, sweaty.

Killing poor people and destroying the ecosystem is fine tho

Liberals know exactly one thing about history and it's not even true

it's so nice to be able to reduce the world to simple stories and metaphors

i know the soviet union sucked bceause i've read (a summary of) animal farm

i know violence is not the answer because i watched that one MLK car advert and idk ghandi or smth and also professor x is better than magneto

i know putin is evil because someone compared him to voldemort and also its probably because his mom didn't love him
