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

I too, love to grab my fellow black-ops buddy's gun instead of holding one myself

Gomulists cant afford guns so they wait until their comrades die and pick up their guns then continue the human wave

Yeah, they made us watch Enemy at the Gates in high school too

I just thought it made the Soviets look cooler

I don't see how. It makes them look disorganized, unprepared, and callous. They were desperate, yes, and some units and civilians were indeed unprepared and took extreme measures to ensure combat compliance, but they were not mindlessly throwing people at the enemy as a tactic.

Tbf I think if I had watched that movie at school age my brain would have also been like" wow cool, just like the Warhammer commisars!"
