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
the signs are already there (JP Morgan circling 'rebuilding' efforts), but damn, when the full details start to come out and if/when the establishment becomes comfortable saying it was a mistake (ala Iraq), it will be shown just how much of a ratfuck this is.
Meanwhile the NHS crumbles more and more every day.
3bil about .08% of the uk GDP I think, when you think about the money that has poured into ukraine this is actually pennies
I did the rough math on funds sent to ukraine from aus since 2022 and its almost *1.3bil (iirc), some absurd amount
not that the messaging isnt revolting
*edit i checked my notes
3 billion is 3000 million, its like 1500 roundabouts, at 1.5mil a pop

Talking about money in government makes me feel really silly, but it is all really silly, 3billion is like, footpath money, if i was Ukranian I'd see this as a performative slap in the face lol
