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 got curious whether the person who wrote this could pass the turing test and am now experiencing true horror. The person seems to understand many of the facts that made us turn away from western imperialism and became communists for, and yet instead of seeing a conflict, they steadfastly support neoliberalism and its backing of fascism at every turn. They're quite well aware of how liberal regimes are backing fascist atrocities and fighting communists for hypocritical reasons and that policy changes happened for capitalist interest despite human lives that cost.

I hope this is a comrade playing the long game for fun or something, because if not, if this person is at all a respresentitive of the mindset of the western liberal, there may be no hope but to starve them out.

I mean except the bit in the end, that the “west denazified much more aggressively than the east” which is completely absurd….. I have no idea how someone can ever believe that.

A deeper investigation has showed me that this guy, a self-proclaimed narcissist, seems to think they shit gold and their farts smell of roses. A huge part of neoliberalism is that everyone's a stupid piece of shit, so it checks out.

What ideology does to a brain… It’s hard to see sometimes.

When your brain is riddled with worm holes, contradictions don't matter

These are the people who believe that the USSR was completely ineffective fighting Nazis to the point where they were sending people into battle with shovels or w/e to get slaughtered, that they butchered every Nazi they caught, that Stalin purged 500 million people, that after WWII somehow the USSR's feelings on Nazis were not insanely negative (and that the purges didn't kill loads of sympathizers), and they were 'less effective' at denazification then the countries which literally imported Nazis to stick into powerful positions
