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

If we just imagined there was a country (or section of a country) that the US taking over would actually make things better for . . . sure? But there hasn't been one of those since 1945, and even then the US made sure to minimize the good it did by giving amnesty to heinous war criminals.
So yeah that's a good example, I could use the logo from like a US WWII regiment to make fun of some Nazis they killed, but I wouldn't put like black nationalist colors or LGBT colors on the logo when it was whites-only and discharged gay people
That's a bit of a contortion since "Z" is not a regiment. Using some sort of black liberationist symbol in conjunction with a more general symbol from the US attack on the Nazis seems, well, a little odd since it was a segregated military as you say, but nonetheless had black soldiers triumphing over Nazis who would have them enslaved or murdered. I suppose Azov isn't likely being all that nice to trans people, but I've seen zero reporting on that topic.
Yeah that's fair, it's hard to find an equivalent of the Z in other contexts, it's a weirdly used symbol
