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

They can all go rot in the gulag

British Bush who helped slaughter a million Iraqis and commit wide spread tourture - "humanitarian".

What kind of clown-to-clown-communicationclown-to-clown-conversation is going on in the background?

In a way, I have more contempt for Blair than Bush. Bush is a reprehensible war criminal, but he and the neocons in his cabinet had agency, they dictated the terms of the agenda. Blair is a reprehensible war criminal but had no agency, just a sniveling, genuflecting lap dog.

The Zionists really are masters of PR, eh? Let’s get that guy who everyone hates, surely that will work.

Depends on who you ask. His legacy is obviously terrible in the foreign policy department, but his administration also oversaw the best years in living memory for the average British person.

My parents and most of the people of their generation I've spoken to, who lived through the 70s, 80s and 90s think of him quite positively, but that's just my experience with the people I've had the opportunity to talk about it with.
