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

What’s the demographics of the people who live on the South Korean border of the DMz?

Is it rich freaks, or is that where they shove poor and marginalized people?

Seoul is actually pretty close to the DMZ. Plenty of rich folks there. If shit really kicked off the city could be obliterated by artillery pretty quickly. Not sure why DPRK would need to do “Hamas style attacks” when they could just do that instead.

I think hamas style is a placeholder for “justified counterattack against aggression” that makes it sound like a bad thing?

Maybe because there are nearly 10 million people in Seoul and the wholesale bombardment of them would result in massive civilian casualties that would rightfully be condemned as a crime against humanity?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 11 months ago

Well, yeah. Point was more just that there is no need for insurgent/Guerilla tactics when you have a massive conventional force dug in within shooting distance of a bunch critical potential targets.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

Yeah but when you imagine that the WPK is basically Korean Hamas, what does your boogeyman care for civilian casualties?

Sounds like South Korea needs to stop using the people of Seoul as human shields.
