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 [email protected]

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

Literally nothing there is true. It’s not a loaded question, it’s not disinformation, and Ukraine has absolutely been doing things to the Donbass despite the scare quotes.

Edit: later in the article

Before Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the intensity of the hostilities in the Donbas had been steadily declining since the signing of the Minsk agreements in February 2015.[9] For example, according to Ukrainian authorities, 50 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in clashes with Donbas separatists in 2020.[10]

Absolutely no concerns for deaths on the Donbass side. Less Ukrainian soldiers died so clearly that means everything is getting better.

well you see, the donbas separatists aren't recognized by the ~~us war machine~~ un and are therefore inhuman terrorists that should be liquidated immediately

Oh shit, only 50 Ukranian soldiers were killed by separatists in 2020? Nothing to see here, no low-intensity civil war, move along.

And also if more Ukrainian soldiers had been killed, it would be because Russia's deliberately escalating the conflict and therefore still Russia's fault.
