Everyone knows all military facilities must be placed in the middle of a desert with a cartoon target on them and registered with google maps and yelp. Did the IDF not get the memo? I’m seeing several high ranking Israeli military infrastructure inside populated areas

Yah know it would be a funny SciFi book/game concept to have some future where some high authority allowed war but forbade any civilian casualties so now all countries conduct war in this ritualistic way where they have to clearly mark all their bases in isolated places and battle locations had to be preplanned less the orbiting AI kill us all with space lasers.

There's an episode of Star Trek TOS where they discover a pair of planets that have been at war forever. They have done away with actual physical warfare, since that would damage their infrastructure to unacceptable levels, and instead just simulate the results of bombing and tell each other who died. Everyone who the computer determines dies is notified and then shows up to the war facilities to be disintegrated.

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
