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

Ukraine banned a Zelenskillion political parties in the time since the invasion lmao, with the exact reasoning of foreign/enemy influence that is deemed unacceptable for all the socialist "regimes"

Well yeah. Russian influence is bad because its a bad country, so its ok for Ukraine to ban pro-Russian parties.

But the west are the good guys! So if a bad country fights western influence thats evil!

Democracy is when there fewer political parties to choose from, and the more parties you ban, the more democratic it is

number of parties with legislative representation in Ukraine: 6
number of parties with legislative representation in China: 9

Clearly this means Ukraine is more communist than China

Have you considered that Ukraine are 'the good guys' though?
