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 think it's supposed to be about Yugoslavia during the referenced NATO bombing.

Oh ya, that makes more sense. I forgot that the bombing campaign was based on a 'we have to bomb them to stop the genocide' narrative. From my vague memories of hearing news stories about it, 'ethnic cleansing' was the term used most often around that time. Quite a reach to label someone opposed to a mass bombing campaign as a 'genocide denier'.

e: NATOpedia even acknowledges that the 'humanitarian crisis' was mostly precipitated by the bombing campaign itself. agony-deep

On the 10th anniversary of the bombing campaign, Ian Bancroft wrote in The Guardian: "Though justified by apparently humanitarian considerations, NATO's bombing of Serbia succeeded only in escalating the Kosovo crisis into a full-scale humanitarian catastrophe"; citing a post-war report released by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe he concluded that it is "widely acknowledged that the bulk of the ethnic cleansing and war crimes occurred after the start of [NATO]'s campaign".

The specific issue people focus on now is the bosnian genocide/the srbenica massacre.

So sad we lost Bernie at such a young age, who knows how great he could have been

I was re-reading People's History of the United States the other day and it bent me out of shape that Howard Zinn called Bernie Sanders a socialist.
