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

Maybe Sabra feels relatable to Israelis because her costume elicits feelings of nationalism.
I mean honestly there really aren't a lot of famous heroes whose costumes reflect the flag of a nation; outside of Captain America no one else comes to mind.
There are Captain [country]s for many countries, and there was a comic series about the [obviously spoooky] Chinese Avengers
Captain america but instead he's an evil
Huh, admittedly I didn't know that. I primarily read fantastic four, x-men, avengers, gen x, DC stuff, and spider-man; but the marvel universe is admittedly pretty huge.
I mostly see the other Captains used for jokes, admittedly.
Regarding Chinese Avengers, I think there might actually be multiple. Here is one group:

And another:
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/People%27s_Defense_Force_(China)_(Earth-616)
Ah, my bad, the group I was thinking of was actually a DC one:

I had to sift through some real brainrot to find this (there are more), so check out at least the last one. It is, at the very least, interesting, though I think it's obviously mainly informed by orientalist xenophobia.
I only know about Captain Mexico due to Marvel Zombies. It was some serious edgelord shit, but killing off the important characters allowed others (such as Morbius) to shine.
