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

Actually please don't because I'm not enthusiastic about the 25M NKorean civilians who will be targeted for an aerial bombardment genocide.
Me neither, but I also wonder if three simultaneous wars might break the western MIC and lead to potential gains on all three fronts.
It feels like more and more of our economy is becoming an explicit engine for manufacturing weapons to export abroad at a loss. Like we're just subsidizing people killing each other overseas, and not even with a particularly high success rate.
I do wonder if we'll ever see a Congress that gridlocks hard enough during a downturn to legit bankrupt one of the major defense contractors. Boeing certainly got close for a minute there, back in 2020. And if we lose a company like Boeing, we lose the ability to make advanced aircraft, which will set us back quite badly on a national stage.
a completely unpredictable consequence of making the MiC the only welfare program in the country. who could have seen this coming??
