I'm starting to notice the half of Lemmy not federating with Hexbear is even more reactionary on average than I thought.
They probably also think the Irish invaded England

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

MODERATORS
If Ireland wasn't lawfully England then why did English nobility own all the land?
Even if they did do an invasion, the proportional response is not deliberately firebombing every man, woman and child then bragging about it. That's literally just genocide.
history started in June 1950
never ask what was going on in the south when the north crossed the 38th parrallel
Just because the regime lead by an ultranationalist nutball was killing everyone to the left of Hitler doesn't mean anything
The more I learn about actual history, the more I realize that History ™️ is a lot like relying on cops body cameras to learn what happened:
"repression by Syngman Rhee?"
Camera was switched off
"Jeju Uprising?"
Camera was blocked by my uniform
"When the South invaded the North?"
Camera was malfunctioning
"When the North continued south to liberate it?"
When they violently invaded without provocation? I guess it was just a loose connection 'cause we got great footage of that!
I would support the North liberating the South even on the simple basis of the US colonial takeover of the latter. That said, did the South really invade first?
The South didn't invade first, there were just repeated "border clashes" where South Korean soldiers advised by the US wanted to get ice cream from the soda shop but took a wrong turn and ended up in North Korea
Jeju uprising
Looked that one up, and once again the forces established to fight them used a skull on their logo.
Real AreWeTheBaddies energy no matter if it's Ukraine or SKorea.
Listen to Blowback
I listened to the first 2 eps and now took a break for a while, any tips on how I can get a quick refresher on what I've heard so far? I've forgotten who everyone is already
It might be worth listening at 1.5x speed. Idk if there are any posted summaries anywhere
I'm trying, man. It's just too depressing to listen to more than an episode a week.
