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 slavic brainpan is predisposed towards human wave attacks and death" is...certainly a take to have
I hear chuds parrot that line, inserting Russia instead of Slavic brainpan, and people including libs nod along because they saw Jude Law in Enemy at the Gates in the early oughts.
They used to say it about China during the Korean War. Boomers will swear up and down that the PLA sent waves of guys to die until the Americans ran out of bullets as a deliberate tactic.
It stems from the racism lobe of the crackkker brainpan
Half that, half an inability to comprehend that the other side is trying, too.
Those [SLURS] didn't stop assaulting our position when they began taking losses! Why would anyone fight to the death for a cause?!?!?!!
That said, I've heard that one of the real reasons for the brutal assault waves was bad field communications - The PLA sends 100 guys forward. There aren't enough radios to go around, so the officer has orders to retreat if they can't advance, and if they don't hear from him they'll send another assault wave to back him up and push the assault in 10 minutes.
Well, the officer and his company get wrecked by American defenses, everyone's either dead or fighting, no one goes back to say "it's no good here, we can't advance", so the next wave gets to go ahead ten minutes later to advance. And all these PLA troops get stuck in and aren't able to convey information back to their assembly area to stop the assault bc of all the chaos. Doubly so for night assaults or in shitty weather or shitty terrain.
Which is located right beside the anterior jingoist cortex!
"We got owned because the enemy used the oldest and shittiest military tactic in human history. Here's how that's unfair to us..."
This dude's definition of Slavic is anywhere east of Prague. Chinese Slavs, amazing.
The Sino-turkick-slavic indo-asiatic horde
Libs sure do love their literal Nazi propaganda.
Just waiting for them to call us candle-eaters at this point.
