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 gallic peoples were also celts but that doesn't make linking the American civil war to Hengist and Horsa less nonsensical

like that guy who somehow concluded that Stalin and Hitler were both descended from some random country in Europe and that ww2 was therefore just a civil war of thay country

i mean i would be comparing such a thing to anglo-irish or anglo-scottish oppression in the 16th-18th centuries if i were talking about the civil war---but a anglo-french lil ass has not a goddamn thing to say abt that

Meanwhile, the first thing Irish immigrants saw when they exited the boats were Union recruitment booths getting them to enlist in the Union army.

Lmao this is just writing warhammer lore for different kinds of white people

Celts? Is that really this fucker's angle? The British-American South is as Anglo as it gets in America, since it's not like there aren't multiple notoriously Irish populations throughout the major northern cities like Boston and New York.
