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

It's a different thing to feel solidarity for Russian conscripts, who are locked into a neverending conflict against the forces of imperialism since 1918, and to say you love the state of Russia after it was privatized and sold out to the lowest bidder.
It's Russian volunteers primarily doing the anti-fascist fighting and ridding Europe of Nazism. Russia didn't have to save Syria. They didn't have to save Kazakhstan and Belarus. They are an anti-imperialist force for good.
Russia being the victim of looting doesn't make me hate them, it makes me support them even further. They are the victim of being sold off and looted, why would that make me hate them? Yeltsinite forces have no sway in the government now. There's this weird trend in the Western Left where they resent modern Russia for the collapse of the USSR instead of correctly directing that anger at themselves and their anti-communist left formations. It's a form of victim blaming and projection.
