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

Yeah but he was killed by communists therefor he needs a hagiography.
He was literally made a saint by the orthodox church in 2000.
No. People rose up against him twice, once for democracy/against economic exploitation/against russification/just generally being mad at Nicholas for fucking up the empire and losing to Japan and once to get rid of him personally (The February revolution was so specifically anti Nicholas that other Romanovs participated). Events like bloody Sunday were specifically not against him, the marching protestors were carrying icons of him specifically to show that they were just dissatisfied with the situation and not the regime, and they were still shot.
