The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.

Add to that; the whole thing was because the Soviets were trying to fortify their defenses in the Leningrad region against the inevitable Hitlerite invasion. They set up a deal with the Finnish government to do a land swap. And, afaik? It was about to be signed when some fascit White general left over from the Civil War walked in and crushed the deal.

Then the Soviets invaded, seized the territory the wanted to build their defense line on, achieved their war goals, and killed all the Fascist Finnish soldiers who marched with the Nazis on Leningrad and Finnish Nationalists have been whining about it and claiming victory for almost a hundred years.

The whole "winter war" narrative is completely ahistorical. The Soviets didn't just invade for no reason, they weren't trying to conquer Finland, and they achieved their objectives.
