I am not actually familiar with the history but for me (and I assume many others in this context) when I see "inteligentsia" I read "SS"

Edit: so that could be where this is coming from

I am not aware of the actual identities of each individual victim at Katyn. But if the 200 doctors had all been SS officers, the soviets would have fucking said so.

A huge amount of the so-called "intelligentsia" were Polish military conscripts who had been working at a university or something prior. It gets cast as though the Soviets were raiding schools, but from what I have seen it's more like they are looking through the resumes of the people killed to find something else to call them.

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
