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 [email protected]

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

Well the Russians have been stealing Ukranian children and forcibly adopting them into Russian families to rob them of their national identity. They've been bombing civilian population centers and infrastructure. Putin put out this silly speech in which he claims that Ukrainians are just confused Russians and that's why they need to come back into the fold (and just let their country and identity be destroyed). Lotsa proof there. I think the fact you haven't found any and are still asking belies your biases (you're probably another fucking Kremlin stooge).

By this metric all war is genocide

So the western liberal believes that orphans should be left in a war zone?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ukraine uses child soldiers and brag about it so it's a wholesome thing now I guess.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Are you saying that there are only two options? You either leave them to die or indoctrinate them into Russian families? No in-between?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know the Russians are contacting family members and reuniting children with families, right? https://www.rferl.org/a/ukrainian-children-returned-illegal-deportations-russia/32355290.html They try to frame it in a vicious manner because the liberal brain is soft and easy to manipulate, but the facts are those children were in Russia and given back to their families.

You're just making up unhinged fantasies.

Oh boy they returned 31 children of the tens of thousands they've kidnapped, truly Russia is a messiah-state here to deliver us from western oppression

Also I haven't made anything up, I've sourced all my claims, Ivan

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

you havent sourced all ur claims, you hide unsourced claims in between claims backed with the flimsiest sources. wikipedia warrior, go back to reddit-logo

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Ivan

Are the russians in the room with you right now?

Russiagate absolutely flattened the liberal brain. Truly as smooth as glass.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

tens of thousands

Russian troops have previously fired on agreed-upon humanitarian corridors.

Hmmm

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So the article claims, but it fails to refer to an incident. Russian fire has hit humanitarian corridors, as have Ukrainian. It is however only Ukraine that has shut down corridors and it is only Ukraine that has a track record of using civilians as a human shield

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Ukraine that has a track record of using civilians as a human shield

Well that was a horrifying read.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here, you attempt to flame Ukraine for shutting down humanitarian corridors because Russians attack them, and your source also states that Russians attack them? Do you even read your sources?

And this doesn't even mention that, when Russia opened their own humanitarian corridors, they conveniently only led to Russian or allied Belarusian territory (instead of back to Ukraine, where a lot of these fleeing Ukranians wanted to go).

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

My source states that Ukraine claims Russia might attack them. Do you think they might have an agenda with statements such as those?

How would the corridor be able to lead back to Ukraine, if Ukraine shuts down such corridors? Of course it is not surprising, when Ukraine makes use of civilian human shields

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So they set up in this "strategic" care home and refused to assist an evacuation? That's a nightmare

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I don't like the russians all that much, but ukraine is literally just throwing people away to regain territory trying to free itself from them

fucking nazis

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

what would you do, oh paragon of morality? give them to ur heroic western human traffickers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you claiming the Ukrainians are doing human trafficking here, or something else? Either way, if you have a good source I'd love to read it!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no. im claiming that opportunistic westerners are coming into Ukraine to kidnap women and children. here’s a UN report. an article and one woman’s story

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you for these sources!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They've been bombing civilian population centers

this is the only part of ur comment that could feasibly be considered genocide and you didnt provide a source. and wikipedia isnt a reliable source

and Ukraine has been bombing civilian centers for the past decade. and that is well documented. maybe Ukraine is the real genocidal power
