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

This is one of the funniest liberal panics I've ever read. Usually they'd compare Trump to Mussolini or Putin or whatever, not Switzerland lmao. Authoritarian Trump is going to force the economy to focus on chocolate and cuckoo clocks. He's going to nuke America's greatest and oldest enemy, Austria.
Owning slaves is actually not authoritarian, doncha know
Especially since if they actually gave a shit about fighting Putin or whatever and actually read the news they'd no that Switzerland has begun braking its famed 'neutrality' when it comes to Russia, to great internal criticism.
As a Czech,
The only good thing I've had from Austria is a cake
First we'd never nuke austria we'd nuke germany so get that one straight, second cuckoo clocks are german.
It's pretty funny but I'm not surprised switzerland is basically a signifier especially now after being drip fed 'switzerland bad' because they have a slightly less aggressive stance on russia, switzerland bad because doesn't recognize Hamas as a terrorist org and so on and so on.
Also I guess they had to break out the one 'white country' so it doesn't come off as racist, like I'm pretty sure the person wrote banana republic or third world country first but wisely used switzerland here.
Switzerland, well known for its authoritarian dictatorships
Real talk: It would be a net benefit to the rest of the planet if the USA became a reclusive, isolationist nation.
