Woah what the hell is going on here? Does Elon thinks that every user from Ukraine is a bot and just decided to erase Ukraine without vetting the users?

Whatever my feelings on Ukraine, it is fucked still that a private business is able to deplatform an entire nation.

On the other hand, it could actually be a major win for us. Libs love Ukraine. Libs dislike Musk but like capitalism. Capitalism enables Musk to hurt Ukraine. This could be the thing that a new batch of socialists point to as the moment that radicalized them.

And even if 95% of libs have the wrong takeaway here, that 5% is something to work with. Now if that 95% keeps getting whittled down…

I generally enjoy seeing Paul Massaro mad, but this seems bad.

an entire nation

“Nation” is an odd way to spell “illegitimate breakaway republic”.

Not really sure what the train of thought here is, if Ukraine is a breakway republic from the USSR, so is Russia. The whole thing was illegitimate, but I don’t know how it’s more or less so for any of the different post-Soviet states.

Unless that’s not what you’re saying, in which case ignore this comment lol

I mean calling geopolitical structures and actions “illegitimate” or “illegal” is pretty much just propaganda. In reality they’re gonna exist if if they exist and do what they’re gonna do u less a greater geopolitical force intervenes.

A small batch, maybe. We are steeped in cognitive dissonance from a young age.

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
