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

I'll flip that one back on you, what's your realistic and practical outcome?

Implementation of the Minsk agreements and ceasefire in Donbass?

Referendums in the region to find out what the people in the occupied territories actually want?

Return of land to the collectives that had it ripped from them after the war heated up?

Or are you just jingoistic and care about the territorial holdings of nation states that don't represent the will of their people?

Because my answers won't matter. I'm wholly uneducated on this topic and my point for being here was to act in bad faith and kick the beehive.

After reading so many good faith responses from the posters here, I rightfully feel like a dumbass so I'm tucking tail and trying to diffuse the situation.

I am literally the "joke's on them I was only pretending" meme, and I'm really not proud of it.

Well, I can't say I wholly believe you due to how you've behaved in this thread, but I really hope what you're saying is true, and I appreciate the sentiment.
If you're interested in more discussions like these, I'd recommend you to hang out in the hexbear news mega.
Disagreement is cherisehd, as long as you're not being smug or condescending about it. We all learn something every day.

We both know the answer, but I hope they respond and show their whole ass. Fucking warmongering scum.
