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

it's a disgrace that he got to live a full life after the war

Agreed. It's even more of a disgrace that he became a celebrity, and was head of NASA in a time where black people and suspected communists would have never been allowed to rise higher in rank than a Nazi.

Using him should've been a secret held in shame, but they paraded this guy around and let him do stuff. At the very least he shouldn't be a household name. Extradite him to be tried after using him to make rockets. Or just life in jail. Or never use him at all and send him to jail. So many better options.

I regret to inform you that we are not the good guys in this story, and once you frame our treatment of our fellow war criminals and genocide enthusiasts as extending a neighborly helping hand to an old friend that has fallen on rough times, the last 80 years of recorded history makes so much more fucking sense
