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

Imagine if one of Trump's kids became a king. The guy was incredibly lazy and spoiled. He spent his time taking strolls around his royal duck pond and getting drunk on sherry. Just an overall dull person who responded to every letter asking for orders with a "yeah ok do whatever."
He was the last king of Russia before getting overthrown by a coalition. There's a transcript of a phone call when coalition soldiers started capturing St. Petersburg where a Russian army captain is trying to tell Nic II there's just no guys left. Nic II is saying something like "just get more troops, we have a lot, right?" and the army guy is like "We don't have anyone left to spare"
The Bolsheviks gained most of their initial popularity through protesting WW1. They were the anti-war organization. Tsar Nicolas II was callous and didn't care
Do you have a source on the phonecall thing? That's hilarious and I want it to be true so much.
It's something I vaguely remember from Trotsky's book "History of the Russian Revolution." I don't remember exactly where it's brought up, probably the earlier chapters. It might have been a telegram too, something like that.
