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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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 still cannot get over the Vogue photoshoots. Like - ok, so his wife is in several outfits. This means that she had time to change, do makeup, pose, etc. But so did Zelensky, considering he's in the pictures. They also did interviews for the magazine. These things don't get wrapped up within an hour.

In other words, for some reason Zelensky chose to remain in his "relentless commander who's too busy with war to care about appearances" persona even though it's clear that he had ample time to do all that for a fucking photoshoot. Who the hell is falling for this propaganda? Westerners, of course, but surely Ukrainians see the first lady in expensive, elaborate outfits and their president in a tshirt next to her and think "this guy is fucking annoying." My only other guess is it's pushing the subconscious narrative of the unkempt warrior male who's too busy with violence so that females can stay safe and worry about makeup and hair.

That's interesting. There are never bad actions, just bad people. And bad people can change to fit any narrative
