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
In respect to the amount of upvotes and awards this got, this may actually, seriously be the worst post I've ever read on :reddit-logo:
This is also how Americans rationalized the failure of the Iraq War. That "we gave them freedom and look be what they did with it!" line. It's how libs avoid dealing with the fact that they supported horrific invasions and occupations.
It's good that we destroyed and pillaged their country and society for 20 years, stole all their money, and bolted, actually
"we expect the same from Ukraine"
their military folded because the US plan for their military was for them to fight to the death and lose. Also the US appointed friendly officials who were so corrupt they just made up army regiments and pocketed the pay
This is also America's plan for the Ukraine. Fight to the death and lose. Unlike Afghanistan though Ukraine is so far following through on Americas plan.
I heard a theory recently that the Ukrainian government may have lost control of the army and can't get them to come and defend the cities
it should be a significant point that a majority of the ppl there ARE anti invasion, even if they weren't before and now support the Ukraine gov. like imagine if most Afghans were actually pro US intervention (an impossibility obviously)
obviously this dude has fucking brain rot though, "yeah Afghanistan isnt an American failure because, after trillions of dollars, 20 years and thousands dead, the afghan people just hate our freedom and love not being free"
Russian tanks are not rolling through Ukrainian cities unopposed
:doubt:
It's the Parenti quote.
If Russia sends its tanks into Ukrainian cities, they're desperate idiots because tanks are vulnerable in urban warfare.
If Russia doesn't send tanks into cities It's because they're scared of the Poltergeist of Kharkov his Ukrainian Avengers.
their "military" folded like a wilting flower against some developing-world fundamentalist theocrat-thugs armed with AKs and heavily used pickup trucks
>"developing-world"

God damn I read through more of those comments than was healthy.
:reddit-logo: being :reddit-logo: as usual.
At least every reply is calling that shit out.
stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin
More and more people are saying it!
Reading shit like this, I don't care for Ukraine. It makes me a piece of shit but I don't give a fuck about Ukraine. It's depressing and it hurts so heavily to read shit like this
Broek: Caring about the nation-state of Ukraine
Woke: International working class solidarity
Note to the world When the USA or the West offers help, we expect you to perform like Ukraine. Not Afghanistan.
Massive Karen energy here. "Listen, we didn't invade your country to let it fall to the local resistance, now pick up that carbine Uncle Sam bought for you and do a heckin' murderino on your cousin,"
