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
So are they saying that having overseas military bases is a bad thing now, or?
They're trying their damn hardest to conjure up some sort of whataboutism to throw at people who point this out
Precisely, bot
Whereas China forced the countries to let them possibly consider propositioning them
"legacies of empire" lmao. "We're not building new bases, just continuing to occupy 800 existing ones, so that totes makes our imperialism okay guys!"
The US military is definitely not the fourth Reich
yeah but what this doesn't show is how many bases the US has in the US! the US is overseas from all of these bases
