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

Funnily enough Gondor and Numenoreans in general had long history of colonising Harad, fortunately their main army got nuked by Valar so there were never enough of them to take over anything more than the northern wilderness entirely (and that happened before Numenor had sunk).
Also the so called "men of the west" were the most incompetent people in entire Middle-Earth, everyone else, even with catastrophic wars, managed to hold more or less to something, but the fabled kindom of Arnor died off to the point where the biggest remnant is the village of Bree with maybe few hundred people living in it (half of which are hobbits) and the southern kindgom of Gondor was also apparently depopulated to a point where entire huge kingdom managed to field around 6500 soldiers for what was widely considered the fight for biological survival.
nah, they successfully colonized all along the coast of middle earth from the northwest to harad. caused untold ecological damage too. abused the natives.
their numbers were never very great, so the populations of the realms they ended up ruling after the fall of numenor were mostly non-numenorean everywhere. there were pockets of numenoreans here and there (around lake evendim, around minas tirith, in ithilien before it was overrun, in belfalas and around umbar at least).
