If only China or Russia vetoed huh.
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 rank fucking smug ignorance of accusing YEMEN a country which has for the last 8 years been bombed to hell and back by a regional superpower with support from the global hegemon of doing IMPERIALISM for having the temerity to assert any kind of agenda on the world stage may their throats sprout boils and their livers rot fucking scum crackers
idk maybe I'm slow to realize this, maybe I'm not getting a clear view of the facts, but I grew up under the Bush administration, and became enfranchised under the Obama administration, and I thought the obvious takeaways there were that 1) the US empire is irredeemably evil and 2) the liberal proponents of empire are not to be trusted any more than their conservative fellows. I'm not expecting everyone my age to be a communist, but I don't know how you attain this level of obliviousness unless you did not know how to read for most of your life. This is something beyond mere propagandization, these people live in an alternate dimension or quite possibly in the basement of the pentagon. It's drivin me nuts.
As someone of a similar age and path, that should have been the takeaway. But, in my case it really took until 2016 DNC shenanigans to really cement that. It's just insanity for these people where we do the same horrendous shit and they expect a different result.
Also, something that has been mentioned on here before is reading mainstream news. Like, I consider myself pretty well informed, but I don't read the New York Times or listen to NPR. I think they don't realize the amount of propaganda that is contained within even the most neutral articles. Reactionary behavior is ingrained into the liberal, western brain.
