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.

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

"Line go up! More war means more treats!" 
I’m not sure if your unaware but Russia has annexed almost 5 Ukrainian States and is still advancing at all parts of the line, had the Minsk II ACCORDS been followed hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive and Ukraine would likely be better off.
If you are happy Russians are dying, you should understand that the continuation of this war is killing Ukrainians at about 2 times the rate.
The only thing you are actually rooting for is the increased wealth of the Military Industrial Complex within the Western imperial core, or Russia for the increased likelihood of gaining Odessa by wars end. Your bloodlust does nothing for anyone.
I'm not happy that anyone is dying. In fact, I've got quite a large problem with that.
That's why I'm all for Russia getting out of Ukraine and ending this war. If Russians are on Ukrainian land with weapons trying to kill Ukrainians... Well, there's no other option.
I find it funny how you're talking about "Western imperialism" while regurgitating the lies of a country that's literally invading another. I find the brain gymnastics of the people here morbidly fascinating.
A brave point for you to make. Now do US in Syria, France in West Africa, Saudi and UAE in Yemen, Israel in Gaza. 4 conflicts where western led wars could actually be minimized by western civilians pushing for ceasefires or pullouts of foreign troops. People like you don’t care about these conflicts that America or its allies are continuing, you only care about conflicts where the “answer” to solving it is killing more people. It’s not about peace for you, it’s about defeating Putin or whatever good vs evil narrative you have.
If you actually cared about stopping violence you would be protesting the wars your own government does, as you have some amount of influence over that. You shouldn't be regurgitating propaganda about the "enemy" nations. That is warmongering. That only leads to war, even if you think you're doing it for peace, all you are effectively doing is boosting your own nations war. Nothing you can do about Russia or China's decisions as a citizen of the west, so remove the beam from thine own eye.
Imagine thinking Ukrainr, the country that banned opposition parties and Russian-language media of all kinds (not just from Russia itself) while having never stood for queer rights nor the rights of ethnic minorities is less dictatorial.
I hope you grow out of using minorities as a prop, running dog
"But what about the women and girls of Afghanistan, huh"?
So dishonest to what the options are and what the laws in Ukraine have been before the war. At wars end, the far right elements of the Ukrainian rump state will be fully armed to do as they please to LGBTQ community you now claim this war is protecting.
Just within your own framework of "west good, authoritarianism bad" how do you reconcile the fact that the US has the world's largest prison population and the highest rate of incarceration of any major country (by a completely absurd margin too)? Is that not authoritarian? Or is that word essentially meaningless and more of a vibes based accusation for thought terminating purposes? You don't actually need to answer this as you are not the first lib we've ever spoken to, but if you want to try by all means go ahead and make a funny comment for us.
lol
lmao, fallacies are not wizard spells. fuckin reddit brain.
Lol do you...do you think that the Russian Federation is trying to be socialist?
Lmao, history started in 2022 for you, didn’t it.
You appealed to the one true Scotsman, you mott and bailey-ed, you triple stawmanned. Checkmate tankie
Open Nazi worship, the massacre of labor union organizers, elections cancelled, all opposition parties banned, Russian language banned, conscription squads snatching men and women off the streets, ten years of fascist slaughter along ethnic lines in the Donbas...yeah you libs really picked the right horse to back on this one. Don't you have another SS veteran to go praise?
Fuck off you pinkwashing asshole.
