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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

"Yeah okay we're doing the colonization, you got us on that one, but it's not ethnic cleansing, it's just the free market!"

Basically everyone fell for this psyop, if they support all real anti-colonial struggles we know they're good faith and got gaslit like 99% of westerners

Yeah I mean I agree thats why I whatever'd it lol. Its nbd in the grand scheme.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

I can't whatever this. They're putting China in the same category as "colonization".

Also the replies are filled with "but what about UKRAINE" X_X

Calling the war in Ukraine genocidal is just peak stupidity. There's no ethnic cleansing, no supression of the ukrainian language, no massacres of ukrainians (the much claimed Bucha was chronologically impossible to have been done by russian forces). The only thing the accusers really had was the transfer of children, which turned out to be simple evacuation of children without parents or with the parents not being found. The children were handed over without incident when the parents demanded it. To make it even more cynical, over 100 of these children were found in the west, not in Russia.

Meanwhile the 8 years of civil war before 22 and the deliberate shelling of civilians by Ukraine even now? With such highlights as the Alley of Angels and the shelling of nuclear plants? cricket sounds

I chose to believe that they are talking about the genocide of Russian minorities in the Donbass. (Even though I know that's not the case)

If I still had a twitter account, I would reply to them that thankfully, Russia intervened to stop the genocide, so we don't need to include Ukraine in the list anymore.

Alley of Angels

https://www.quora.com/Why-did-the-English-language-Wikipedia-delete-the-article-on-the-Alley-of-Angels-in-Donetsk Wow this is a low for NATOpedia I wasnt aware of. Do you have good sources on the event?

Only what I learned back when not everyone went "jabba utini!". Ukranian artillery managed a perfect hit. On a elementary school. Almost 150 children died.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

none of them can tell you the first thing about what happened in the Ukraine before Feb 2022, but they still love to have opinions
