Tanks are actually pretty terrible in modern warfare

Warfare?

That may be a statistical fluke, since most of the active tanks on the planet are US manufactured, haven’t seen maintenance since the first Bush admin, and were only built to function in the desert as long as the wind isn’t blowing too hard.

I thought maybe it was a comment on how stuff like drones and global imaging have made modern warfare revolve around long-range artillery/unmanned aerial strikes and then rapid troop movement

i also have no idea what I’m talking about

I figured it was more a statement of how engagements now aren’t really in areas tanks can be used effectively. Like citys

Yeah exactly, that’s why Ukraine and Russia have both stopped using tanks entirely.

Those are all Rule 1 violations, which reads, “No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.” (and includes a link up the code of conduct).

These babies are repeating infantilizing orientalist memes and are surprised when the rules are applied to them, lol. Some of them probably don’t even realize it because they’re so used to playing pretend about the see see pee and the oppressed Chinese people in their imaginations that they actually think they are stating facts.

Deeply unserious people.

PS remember when lemmy.world preemptively defederated from hexbear (in the justification they say defend is “as a last resort” lol)?

Censorship is when an internet forum bans me for my image depicting Xi Jinping as Winnie the Pooh

I’ve been banned from .ml for being a ‘racist’ for being anti-Xi, despite the fact that I am Chinese, and pointed out my ethnicity as such in the discussion. I guess antisemitic Jews aren’t the only weird accusation getting thrown about nowadays.

Lol, oh no. The poster immediately under this is going on some long winded rant that Japan should have been nuked harder, it was the only way to save more people

and also

Lemmy.ml is a cancer on the Fediverse. If we want it to survive, we need to cut it off.

Prime specimen of someone who needs to touch grass, the userbase at lemmy.ml is trash, but not for why they think

So funny how braindead liberals truly are in the age of the internet and 60+ years of historical analysis and declassified info we have now that wasn’t available back then. What do you even call an ideology where you can determine that

Nuking civilians with atom bombs multiple times: Good

Banning me from a fringe forum because I’m ideologically opposed to you: Bad

You’re right you’re right, liberals I’m so fucking sorry. I don’t know how in my warped little authoritarian mind I convinced myself that banning you specifically on the internet is morally superior to nuclear hellfire wiping out entire bloodlines. Please forgive me for the love of god

I think that’s a bit reductionist. Their argument was more “I stumbled into an instance that had vastly different views, but I’m from reddit so I only looked at the comm” or something.

The supporting evidence is a cable from a British guy who heard all these terrible things from a random source. I wonder why that source’s account differs from all the other contemporary reports of that day

A lot of the dead bodies in those pictures are specifically labeled PLA soldiers too

Idiots

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
