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

Farewell to the Bazinga Brigades - 10th March 2022 to 14th March 2022
Still can't believe that I half jokingly predicted half arsed opposite international brigades and then it actually happened. Also can't believe how invincible these people thought they were. C'mon, you're not an FPS protagonist, what were you expecting?
They were expecting it to be like the War on Terror, unfortunately for them their enemy had modern Russian weapons not leftover 1980s stuff.
All I can think of is Orwell in POUM talking about how all his fellow Brigade members had come with no training (since everyone with training died in WW1) and he spent most of his time drinking, watching no one really make any attempts to attack, and showing people which way a gun was supposed to go until some Fascist shot him in the neck because he never bothered ducking at the parapet.
Meanwhile the Anarchists are giving a pretty good account of themselves.
