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

“Prosperous” is when your citizens leave in droves to do menial work in England and Germany but magic line goes up. “Democratic” is when your government cares more about hosting NATO (and placing fines on critics) and oppressing gay people than getting your needs met.

The hilarious thing is that this isn’t a Cold War map but one of gay marriage approval (if the United Germany and split Czechoslovakia didn’t tip you off).

Poland and Hungary are in the EU and they're pretty openly authoritarian. It's not even something new. Fidesz had over 40% of the vote share since 2002 and won a supermajority in 2010. PiS first got in power in 2005 with the failure of the Socdems to deliver anything but neoliberalism.

All endorsed by the EU and International community, yet these countries elected rabidly reactionary governments who promised to protect them from the EU

Can they only imagine EEurope having a normal stable, prosperous democratic order under EU tutelage?

The more I think about Eastern Europe, the more I think that they really just want to be fascists and they're mad at the USSR for preventing them from being Nazis.
