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

Radlibs thinking they’re anarchists. A tale as old as time.

Not sure you even qualify as a radlib anymore once you're defending Azov, regardless of what you call yourself.

How about literally joining Azov?

Due to the lack of a massive organization, the first [Ukrainian] anarchist and anti-fascist volunteers went to war individually as single fighters, military medics, and volunteers. They tried to form their own squad, but due to lack of knowledge and resources, this attempt was unsuccessful. Some people even joined the Azov battalion and the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists). The reasons were mundane: they joined the most accessible troops. Consequently, some people converted to right-wing politics.

The reasons were mundane:

Mundane would be refusing to eat because you had just brushed your teeth, not "eh, guess I'll join these Nazis." Not to mention given the fact they live in Ukraine and are supposedly anarchists they'd be aware of all the shelling in East Ukraine going on all those years, and all the Nazi punks in the various ranks of military and police. You know, they'd have been against them before the Russian military operation....
