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

No fucking way lol. I used to go there as a kid all the time. Awesome museum. Planes and helicopters galore. They used to have a Spitfire dogfight simulator. And in the kids area they had a hang glider suspended that you could lie in.

Well, one summer when I was about 10, my school had a 'read in wacky places competition'. So my dad takes a picture of me in this glider pretending to read a book. We submit it.

One day I'm standing around and some kid at school comes up to me. A not too bright 8 year old. He goes "did your really read on that glider!!??" I was like huh? Yeah? No big deal? His mind looks absolutely fucking blown.

Well, one day I see the board that all of the submissions have been stuck on. Turns out my dad had photoshopped me and my glider over an image of burning oil fields in Iraq.

Laughed my socks off.

Anyway, I've been meaning to go back revisit the museum for ages (it's free to attend) so I'll check it out when I'm there.

Fuck me. Reminds me of the Half Life 2 beta, where npcs played a "game" where they control a manhack hunting rebels. You can deduce the rest I suppose :normal:

I think the Anglo's would somehow be less pleased if a Middle Eastern army museum had the same but you strike targets in the UK in the simulator

I think this might be one of the tamer military recruitment tactics directed at children in the UKKK

A follow-up tweet

I don't know what's funnier, this or all the signs that say "Sponsored by Northrop Grumman"

Honestly, if the Anglos (and particularly the UK/US) bring nuclear oblivion on their heads, I can't claim I'll be overly saddened (if I survive, as I live in Klanada myself) for anyone other than those I know, and even then I'll understand and support it. Those who have exterminated the majority of two continents' worth of indigenous peoples, those who are the most warlike scourges of the earth who have created worse exploitation, deprivation, and global destabilization for their own ends, will only receive what they deserve (and they have every opportunity to choose peace and human decency, but I know that the Anglo regimes almost certainly won't) and what they will have forced the rest of humanity to do, in self-defense or in the pursuit of equality (deterrence) if nothing else.

ukkk indeed. Someday, hopefully, the same lessons will be taught (though hopefully the UK will be dissolved and England and the Anglosphere thoroughly demilitarized and under proletarian rule) in reverse across the entire world, so that future generations will be ready to prevent the imperialists from ever rising up again, and so that the memory of all their actions will live on- not necessarily as a grudge, but as a reason to always scrutinize and distrust the west.
