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

Did they miss the part when Musk sent Starlink equipment to Ukraine?

Did they miss the absolute crapton of arms, munitions, targeting equipment and everything under the sun that is being sent to Ukraine?

Did they miss USA actively providing targeting data, satellite data, SIGINT data to Ukraine?

Did they miss droves of "international volunteers" in Ukraine?

What a dumb fuckin picture.

The future season of Blowback is really going to be something rust-darkness

Blowback is a history podcast focusing on US foreign policy from a leftist perspective. It's named after a CIA term for the unintended consequences of its actions. So far they've talked about the Iraq war, the Cuban revolution, the Korean war and US support for the mujahideen in Afghanistan. He's joking about how there will probably be a future season about Ukraine at some point.

It really is dumb to expect any of this, of course, but let’s not pretend it wasn’t promised to them. Joke’s on them for believing the west
