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 liberal brainwashing is complete, they're as rabid as neo-cons.
More Reddit than Reddit themselves.
Also u/ilovethebomb is a notorious Ukraine shill, I've seen them every time this war comes up. They're not the one-off mindless innocent lib, they purposely go on Lemmygrad to be angry and get owned.
More Reddit than Reddit
Is it Reddit all the way down? Make it stop.
Is it Reddit all the way down?
Always been.
More Reddit than Reddit themselves.
You can remove the Redditor from Reddit, but you can't remove Reddit from the Redditor.
Crazy. TIL
No! You fucking did not just learn that! You just saw someone on an anonymous internet forum assert it. That does not count as learning it! Jesus fucking christ! 
They want to believe it, so the source is irrelevant. This is how most Liberal learning goes.
Man. These fuckers out here trashing Code Pink. Respect to that group, they've been active since the Iraq war invasion and libs have gone from loving them to hating them.
Death to America
Those same libs probably initially hated them at the beginning of the Iraq war too. Liberals were fully on board with the war and with calling anybody who didn't support it un-American.
apparently the most tame anti war org is just a wing of the CPC
To be fair to them, Code Pink is AFAIK pretty rad and they're doing good work.
When you think about it, the CPC is probably the greatest anti war org on the planet. It it reacted to America's repeated provocations with anything less than complete calm and restraint, we'd probably all be dead.
Isn't it funny how these peaceniks only come out against war when the tide turns in Ukraine's favor
What?
I know the U.S. is breaking international law to give them seized Iranian weapons and ammunition, but every single source basically agrees they're bleeding out for inches
I know propaganda is a hell of a drug, but still!
Completely botching a counter offensive because NATO tactics and weapons suck ass is the tide turning in Ukraine's favour apparently.
Completely botching a counter offensive because NATO tactics and weapons suck ass
For decades, NATO tactics have involved the military equivalent of 
where it's a bunch of arrogant presumptions of superiority while never critically testing them against a peer military.
That is already a self own, it explicitly admits we were right all along, that Russia was winning for the past 18 months which is something they denied throughout.
And we were saying 18 months ago to stay the fuck out of it.
Lol peacenik used unironically, this war is really turning some people into the dad from Night of the Living Dead
The war ends when [thing that's never going to happen] happens.
Why can't they acknowledge that they just don't want the war to end? That they just want to punish Russia by bogging them down in a 20 year war like Afghanistan, no matter the cost to the Ukrainian people.
I think a lot of people have a completely non-material, vibes based, idealistic view of warfare. It's not about soldiers and missiles and satellites and industry, it's just good guys and bad guys and the good guys should win because they're the good guys.
soldiers and missiles and satellites and industry
many of them actually go bonkers for that shit. The war being the main headline generator gives them an excuse to indulge in their obsessive jingoism and military fetish because it's topical and they get to show off how smart they are by regurgitating specs they memorized from Lockheed Martin brochures.
Because they can just blame Russia for everything and pretend they have a moral highground. Checkmate chinese propoganda bot.
We have to keep beating the dead corpse of the USSR because it helps us ignore our home in the corpse of capitalism
The war ends when the last Ukrainian dies! No debate!
This is textbook virtue signalling. Competing with one another about who can most aggressively agree with the consensus position. There's no effort to understand anything here, just farting and sniffing.
Seems to be the norm now, this is all I see outside of hexbear and a few other pockets.
It’s the inevitable result of reddit-style design, imo, particularly with regard to having downvotes. Downvotes discourage people from making controversial comments, because even if you’re correct and lots of people agree with you, your comments can still be buried or limited in visibility if enough people dislike them. The downvote button isn’t supposed to be the disagree button, but in real terms that’s what it is.
If comments that people agree with get more visibility, and things people disagree with get less visibility, then the natural result is going to be that people learn to make comments that everyone agrees with. A recipe for banality.
Hexbear has no downvotes so it functions more like twitter. You can’t just hit the dislike button and move on, so if you want to express dislike or disagreement, you have to comment and amplify, which reddit people hate. They think it’s brigading or trolling because, despite their ostensible love of debate, they don’t actually want to discuss anything.
Good; the more fascists in jail, the better
Username is antifa 
Using the words "authoritarian regime" sets off either state department bot alarm bells or fallen-for-propaganda alarm bells.
Even if a country is that, in my head that's a term that journalists use for "the bad countries" and I could never say it sincerely.
Every country has an authoritarian regime, it came free with your nation state.
Your average Chinese person could probably give less of a shit about the USA that foaming feral burgers do about China who live in their brain 24/7 and are responsible for literally everything bad in the world.
Anything I don't like is chinese propaganda sorry
Sometimes I bang my GI Joe and my Skeletor figurines together and pretend it's the Russo-Ukrainian War. I'll lay there for hours on my mom's floor saying "pew pew pew" while the Ukrainian GI Joe drops drone grenades on the RuZZian Skeletor. I'll dismember him bit by bit as I laugh in my head. Many times I've written the Ukrainian Army and suggested new tactics based on my recreations of the drone videos. Once I said they should drop acid bombs and they replied "thank".
Could have stopped the rabies outbreak if we'd heeded the advise of the DPRK. Now all the liberals are hiding their Biden bites and insisting it is the tankies who are rabid for, uh...
it says here "wanting to withdraw the tanks"
ah yes, but, you see, what you don't see here is that we're actually the Adults In The Room and we're doing Adulting, a higher-order concept that your ignoramus brain could never understand, tankie
Ukraine will fight to the last man and woman, I promise you that from my air-conditioned wine cave!
Everything I don't like is a Russian / Chinese bot. Literally everything. The second I dislike something even slightly, it's automatically a Russian / Chinese bot. Their bot technology is just that good. In fact they have shoved 100% of their GDP into bot production so they can write convincing posts on Lemmy. That's how you know communist countries don't know how to efficiently run an economy.
Anyone who has consistent principles will eventually run afoul of the libs, whose beliefs swing around wildly like a weathervane to point at whatever is convenient for them
I out here using some words. Doesn't really matter what they mean. I just like using them.
Propaganda! Treason! CHINAAAA!!
Putin just needs to retire and take up painting. All will be forgiven just like GWB invading Iraq.
RF has been much more restrained in their use of military force in a war on their border than the USA has ever been in numerous campaigns around the world. Just to clarify.
liberal brainwashing is complete, they’re as rabid as neo-cons.

Ukraine can't just win a war because they want it bad enough. There is no triumph of the will
