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

Do these idiots literally just ignore the nazi symbols used constantly by the Ukraine military or something?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depending on their mood or the point they're trying to argue against, those symbols can be

  • Totally different from Nazi symbols, they're ancient runes (that are not from Ukraine, but ah well nevertheless)
  • Definitely Nazi symbols, but only for the purpose of "trolling" the Russians who lost millions to the Nazis (which includes the Ukrainians lost, but a lot of those were undesirables so ah well nevertheless)
  • One or two bad apples, what are they going to do ban using Nazi symbols in their military? (which other western militaries do, but ah well nevertheless)

I saw a lot of enlightened geopolitics experts on Twitter arguing that it was totally German and Scandinavian religious icons, nothing with Nazism pinky swear

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

An excuse I hear a lot lately is that they just use nazi iconography to own Russia so it's fine

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

They know absolutely nothing about Ukraine. In particular, they nothing about Ukraine's long history of using antisemitic violence to protect the rich.

Tbf wielding the Z symbol is cringe and possibly an uncritical endorsement of Vladimir Putin thought

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

It's Texas, every 20th truck has six Trump/punisher/q anon flags mounted in the bed. The Z is less cringe than any of those and none of these redditors is worried about "what's going on"

Someone's going to get hate-crimed for a Zelda tattoo.
