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

Did this guy hear about the Dagestan shootings and really think β€œIf we didn’t do this, we should have”?

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

oh that's who this guy is. a human lanyard

[–] TheWurstman@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

No dude some people in Austria are generally this fucking stupid

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

I fucking hate these people. They keep doing the same dumb shit again and again. They never learn. Capitalism and imperialism is a death cult.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

Isn't this kind of a dead end anyway? Chechnya under Kadyrov has been quite stable, with a lot of the armed opposition essentially brought into the fold. In addition, they achieved a lot of their resistance aims and were given much greater autonomy already.

The remaining Muslim minorities aren't particularly concentrated or organized, I don't think.

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 21 points 11 months ago

IIRC the US didn't arm the Taliban, but they did fund the Madrassas that taught them. They were arming the Northern Warlords and the Mujhadeen. The Taliban came after the Soviets left and mopped up the infighting warlords as the Taliban was the only group with a coherent ideology.

Anyways minor pedantry for against an already stupid point.

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago

Yeah let's destabilize A NUCLEAR POWER because those extremists won't ever HAVE THOSE NUKES AFTERWARDS good thinking conrad

[–] CommCat@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What makes you think the CIA isn't already arming them?

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

yea

Aren't they already? (ISIS attack in Moscow earlier this year)

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

Gunther I love you baby but you can't be posting like this

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

You have already. In pretty much every country and every conflict that borders Russia.

In fact, you've gone so far as to start hiring random, war-broken terrorist day labourers for a pittance to do mass shootings and arson against civilians.

What possible additional groups could you find to fund and arm?

Oh, he's one of these racists who believes every Muslim person, including those just living their lives in Russia, is a secret potential terrorist isn't he? And that they should harness that.

russia, i know you are dumber than most people think, but please fund RAF 2.0, it would be so fucking funnny

I ran in the Boston marathon after eating a whole pizza. Worst mistake of my life peter-running

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

Yes. The pressure kept building up and I eventually exploded

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

Go ahead, Gunther. Arm the Chechens. Kadyrov will appreciate the support.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

Best keep supporting Navalny as well >.>

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

Is this a bit

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

Arming the Dagestanis will surely have no consequences whatsoever

in unrelated news, I can't believe Khabib Nurmagomedov shot Dana White

[–] TheWurstman@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago
