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 [email protected]

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

Vladimir Putin cannot be allowed to access that money and those resources because he will share it [sic] with China.

The famously mineral resource poor country of Russia.

The war is the same as when the local Shell Gas Station launches a massive military campaign against the local farmer for killing the chicken he hates on the daily.

I mean, by that logic, USA has no business in Middle East. 🛢️🛢️🛢️

between this and boris johnson just outright saying a russian victory in the war would mean the end of western hegemony, they're really just coming out and saying the quiet parts out loud now i feel. its like they cant even be bothered to do the whole Democracy and Freedom spin anymore.

They can say those things because it is assumed those things are good. And a lot of people believe that.

Gonna be honest, I've never heard the "Vladolf" part before. You mean to tell me that libs managed to come up with a portmanteau with multiple letters of overlap including a vowel?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Vladolf

I never heard that either. It certainly has swagger. "Putler" has none.

LIBERALS are getting good at COMEDY and it's making HEXBEAR NERVOUS

Death to America

Personally, I like "TrumPutLer". It's unhinged, and includes all the liberal bad guys
