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

I just genuinely do not understand how these fucking rubes seem to genuinely believe that Russia is somehow alone or uniquely powerful in terms of online propaganda or influence campaigns. Like I just want to sit down with these people face to face and try and see if they've even considered for one fucking second the idea that maybe literally every single national and private interest that exists, including their own country and corporations in it, are broadcasting propaganda online at a constant 24 hour basis.
They always have some lame shit like "w * ataboutism" to throw out there. Sometimes the mask slips, and they say something like "well, it's good that my side is doing it" like that makes sabre rattling and more imperialism ok.
They can't be reasoned with. Lord knows I've tried to show them sources. I still get destroyed for saying that Hillary literally gave us trump with the pied piper strategy. They also can't handle the reality of the Mueller report. They're back to "trump and Putler sat in smoky rooms, twittling their moustaches while plotting to destroy the earth!" There is no logical consistency in liberal ideology. It's all about keeping the treats flowing.
It's not propaganda! It's "marketing"!
How are you going to sit down face to face with anybody when you’re a Russian bot?
Typical loony leftist behavior, spamming me with a giant image of the monster that stole my grandfather’s business and land.
