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

Ukrainian Nazis literally did modern day pogroms against Roma people.

Yeah, I have a lot of footage archived from the 2014 ukrainian civil war and one of them is a pogrom carried out against Roma. I save this stuff not because I enjoy viewing it or having it on my hard drive, but because I don't trust western media or even western historians to properly preserve this stuff.

Also, the Azov battalion is a "territorial defense unit" that mostly attacks Ukrainians in Donbass and Luhansk. It is political parties like Svoboda and their paramilitary wings like C14 that are usually doing those pogroms. Naturally all these reactionary organizations cross-pollinate so there is a tendency to just call them all Azov because it's a name everyone knows by this point.
