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

Sure the Germans committed genocide but the Soviets took a dead Nazi’s watch, so who can really say who the bad guy is?

Which is crazy considering American and British troops shipped entire rifles and shit across the ocean. A watch is basically nothing like damn let a mf take a watch.

Or stolen art, jewelry, valuables, etc. There were entire underground logistics networks set up dedicated to smuggling contraband loot out of europe.

yeah like, the reason there's such a big trade in Nazi memorbilia is because US troops love to loot. Like sexual violence, it's a practice that's inevitable in war unless strict penalties are instated for it.

The guys that captured Berlin and ended the holocaust were no angels.

I remember a reddit thread where they were all getting mad at a picture of a GI taking a captured SS Officer's watch, the bootlicking was unreal.
