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

MODERATORS
This is a great question to ask on lemmygrad.ml/c/genzhou , or a few other places. There's also already a lot of good threads on that already too.
As a super-short answer: Not all capitalist countries are equal: in fact, most of them are poor, and being exploited by the imperial-core capitalist countries, namely those who use their favorable position in the world market as monopsonies to dictate labor conditions, wages, and policy to the poorer, surplus-value producing nations of the global south.
Russia, like most capitalist countries, is not part of that elite minority that use finance capital to exploit other nations. Like Syria, Venezuela, Bolivia, and many other countries, they're exerting some intolerable independent behavior, and found themselves in military opposition to the imperialist bloc.
Here's a good article going over the question: Is Russia Imperialist?
Thanks for this!
No probs <3
