Favorite comment so far:

The Houthis are an hereditary cult, why has no one ever attempted to just kill their religious leader and all of his male descendants (as I guess they won't accept females) to prevent heirs so as to cause a succession dispute and possibly disrupt the movement? Rather than restraining aid their don't care about because popular support is not material.

when you have zero idea how martyrs work

20 years after Iraq and they still think they can solve all their problems in the middle east with "kill their leaders"

To be fair the libs do mostly think what their leaders to tell them to think. It would work on them

"You see, if you just carry out a successful series of assassination schemes against the target and their legal heirs, then they will game over as they have no one to inherit their titles. I am a very serious person who did not learn everything about how states work by watching youtubers play CK2."

lol not even, European medieval history is far more about personal disputes about generations of inbreds than any grandiose scheming over territory and dynasties.

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.

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
