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 chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

Wow, is this some sort of Moscow-funded Russian disinformation bot farm instance? Russia is an existential threat to the US and we have to draw a line somewhere. This war is about democracy. A democratic Ukraine vs fascist Russia. If we don’t stop them in Ukraine, democracy is over.

No. It’s a Havana-funded Cuban disinformation bot farm instance.

Russia is an existential threat to the US and we have to draw a line somewhere.

Russia hasn’t done anything to me. China hasn’t done anything to me (in the present day). In fact, China is constantly calling for the U.S. to stop war mongering and just do business, but the US can’t help it but keep inching closer to their airspace and play chicken.

The U.S. is an existential threat to MY HEALTH, because I’m not likely to be shot or run over by a Russian or Chinese soldier. I am, however, likely to be shot or run over by an American next door. So fuck off with Russia and China and fix the problems here first, then come back and ask me to join your dumb wars. The answer will be no anyway.

That's some tyrannical, Russian-type style bullshit right there.

The United States is an existential threat to the United States. Enjoy your has-been empire.
