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 literaly that homer meme again lol.

Captured [random village here], a huge day, a great victory!

Reality:

Thousands and thousands of dead, more mobilizations including women.

FInancial times: "The idea that Ukrainian forces, lacking any air cover, would storm through Russian lines was always going to be more of a Hollywood plotline than reality."

dozens of precious "indestructible" western tanks lost,

took so long it is now the rain season so they can't advance anymore

the target was supposed to be the land bridge to Crimea and cities like Melitopol.

Don't ask what is going on near and around Kupiansk for the last 2 months.

Don't ask what is the former name for Artemvosk lol.

A lot of the young people fighting/dying in Ukraine right now were radicalized through NED-funded child summer camps that were covered in the international press before 2022. Even the Guardian has a video on youtube about this still.

I don't doubt it but I'd love to have some source about the NED funding.

antiwoke tankies saying gender equality in land-mine casualties is bad!
