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

Like there rly is no other point in posting this other than to stoke russophobia. "OH those barbaric russians" thinks the reader while ignoring the history of their own country's linguicide, whether the uk, the us or any other western chauvinist shithole

And also this thing about Lithuanian being banned is a fucking lie. It was an official language in Lithuanian SSR and a lot of books in Lithuanian were printed then.

buried in the middle of the article it says the Tsarist regime banned it and the ban was lifted (still by the Tsars) in 1904. haven't checked elsewhere.

Same thing happened all across Europe in the 19 and 20 century, "nation states" were kind of a big mistake eh
