It’s honestly hilarious to me that they’re going with this instead of making up a bullshit story about Yemeni pirates playing kickball with a puppy’s head. Not even anything about “freedom and democracy”. Just naked imperialism and prioritization of le market over human lives. Of course, they very deliberately omit why they started a blockade to begin with.

Can’t tell if it’s a net good to see the empire rip its mask off like this.

Maybe there's some context that's missing where he says it's good or something but it does seem like MattY is objectively correct here.

What he said is objectively true but he says it thinking it's a good thing. I could post that verbatim on Hexbear under the implication that I think it's a bad thing and no one would question me in the slightest

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
