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
ah, the classic "Russians are actually Mongols" argument
also, in this fantasy scenario, how the hell did the Ukrainians avoid mixing? A bunch of modern Ukraine was also conquered by the Mongols, and even before that, the Pontic-Caspian steppe has lended itself very well to various other steppe peoples, like the Alans, Bulgars, Khazars, Pechenegs, Cumans, Kipchaks... If you're so mad about the steppe influence, might as well hand eastern and southern Ukraine over to the Russians, that land clearly shouldn't be in pure and unbesmirched Ukraine.
