Look at what 33 years of “Pax Americana” did to everywhere, including the empire core, you fucking baboon

I’m more curious what a “First Strike” on the Russian homeland would have looked like in 1945, given what a “First Strike” into China from North Korea did to MacArthur in 1954.

Hell, has anyone consulted on the consequences of a “First Strike” on Hawaii by Japan four years earlier? Or a “First Strike” into Poland, by Germany, a few years before that? While we’re on the subject of “smoking gun becomes mushroom cloud”, what’s up with Iraq and the surrounding Middle East states, atm? Are they all groovy?

Not to mention that Western forces were depleted at the time on the account of, y’know, fighting the Axis powers.

I mean, its the same tired “Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin” argument turned on its head. Trying to tell an entire planet that’s exhausted itself through total war for the last ten years “Please do one more war, just bigger this time!” is as insane now as it was back then.

Nobody was in a position to wage a ground war across the entirety of Europe and the Middle East for a second time. The theory that the Allies (minus Russia, China, and all their regional partners) could have put troops into the center of Moscow in time to stop a test of the RD-1 is… just crazy wish fulfillment. That’s not even assuming a post-war Europe heavily tilted towards Soviet Russia as a savior rather than a villain… So many of these pundits think Europeans see the USSR through a post-1980s lens. They’ve got no sense of history.

You can actually still use them, though more hexbears are always great.

There’s a thread with nearly all the emojis posted, from there you can get links to them directly and then post them with image links using the format (after removing the spaces):

! [image] (link)

Example:

It’s a bit roundabout but it works

Yeah they’re enormous. I kinda get why people find them annoying but IMO it just adds to the hilarity. If it bothers you that much you need to get off the internet.

Are they doing an ecofash take? That’s the only way I’ve been able to make any sense of it - under the assumption that we are the world’s rightful elite, and that such a thing exists in the first place, other places raising their quality of life is “selfishly dooming us all”

It’s a “everything bad is the result of communism” take.

Pretty common in Eastern Europe, ignoring for example that consistently capitalist Turkey isn’t exactly El Dorado for example.

Doubt. When they say “commie scientists,” they’re saying that climate change isn’t really a thing and the only issue is scientists saying it is. It makes more sense with scare quotes around “climate change.” Connecting an althist genocide from 80 years ago to the current day climate seems a little too complex for the tweeter.

Ooh, you’re probably right. I didn’t recognize the oil rig emoji the first time I saw it but especially now that I do, that tracks

Create post

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
