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

So let me get this straight, they're adopting Maoist Standard English and using it to imply Russia is evil Nazis, but the actual Nazis were fine????

Got it in one, their replies are just as unhinged

Everything is nazis except actual nazis, who are fine

The nazis weren't that bad and the soviets were just as bad and the soviets were actually worse and the soviets were the real nazis and the nazis werent that bad and so on and so on.

It need not make the least bit of sense, only that each argument feel like they follow from the last.

That's just how fascism works, there are telltale characteristics: adopting the language of the left, rewriting history, identifying a vague national "enemy" etc
