There's never been one of these "Hexbear is mentally ill because they disagree with me" threads that hasn't been result of someone coming here and getting banned after posting in bad faith. -- Surprisingly, it seems that the rest of the fediverse is increasingly aware of that.

This isn't reddit anymore. We're neither libs nor hogs. Please continue dehumanizing people that hold virtually the same opinions to you though.

Incredible, really. Why even pretend to be a democracy at that point.

Any women who took the test during this period should be awarded doctors wages from when they took the test until the court judgement.

That being said, using facts to bully others is not in good faith either.

Ahaha, is this why the lemmylibs think hexbear purely consists of bad faith bullies?? agony

Kamala/Trump policies are virtually the same.

However, if Trump won, you'd suddenly care about Gaza because it's badman doing it instead of goodwoman.

It does however appear that Russia applying pressure up and down the entire front line even outside of the main advance around Pokrovsk. This means that the AFU can't redeploy forces currently on the front to plug up holes, and reserve forces must be held back for future potential holes, not just stabilizing the Pokrovsk collapse. In a way, Russia is checking to see how exsanguinated Ukraine is after two years of losses.

Hexbear is such a unique space to look at this conflict. There is no loyalty to any participant in the conflict other than a keen curiosity on its impacts on geopolitics, and what those impacts might mean for global workers movements in the future. The fact that we can sit here and evaluate sources based on their content rather than whether or not they align with our ideology is magical.

Gaelic is confusing to English speakers because they expect the letters to have the same sounds. Mhath (good) for example is pronounced "vah"

Internal documents tend to be quite factual.

If they're using them far from the frontlines, over friendly territory, they'll be using at least some NATO pilots to get around the training bottleneck. They'll use Ukrainian pilots if the F16's are ever used over enemy territory, but, I don't think that's likely considering that the Ukrainian F16's are primitive but precious.
