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
...did it never occur to you that Amestris was Germany circa 1910's? You're really pushing a WW2 allegory I just don't think is there.
It's not a 1 to 1, but the two core elements of the story are the industrial extermination of an entire ethnicity, and the use of science to build super weapons. The techlevel is late interwar or WWII, best shown by the tank, which is clearly inspired by WWII tanks, not WWI era tanks. The main cast are all officers in the fascist military dictatorship that carried out a war using super weapons against civilians. It's not really subtle.
