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 not that they keep centering Nazis.

IT'S THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYONE WHO ISN'T A FUCKING NAZI.

They didn't review the photos before releasing them to avoid the nazi's ones, or they just can't find pictures without nazi tattoos?

[โ€“] [email protected] 52 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Honestly seems like the latter at this point, given how common this is. You can find guys with nazi tattoos in the US military and police but it's uncommon enough to make the news. There's nothing remotely like Ukraine where every picture of ten adult men someone has an obvious Nazi tattoo.

Like, at the start of the special military bullshit I thought the RF was exaggerating the Nazi thing for propaganda purposes and now a few years on it's like Nope fucking nope Ukraine really is absolutely filthy with Nazis.,

I get what you're saying, but I want to point out that as far as I know Zombie Boy/Rick Genest was a decent guy.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I still think Putin isn't as concerned about neo-nazis as much as he is NATO and taking parts of Ukraine for capitalist interests. But holy shit it's been icing on the cake for Ukraine to be infested with nazis. It's probably why more Russians aren't against the war. Morale wouldn't be high if they were fighting solely on behalf of the country's billionaires. But offer them a chance to kill genuine fascists? People will volunteer to do that for free.

The photo's subtext casually mentions the Azov batallion as just being a unit in the national guard. They're perfectly aware of who they're promoting but at this point they don't care AND can't find anyone who isn't a far right nationalist anyway.

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

The latter, I'm pretty sure

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

I suspect that they deliberately find photos with nazi tattoos to normalize them.

[โ€“] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago

Oops! All Nazis!

[โ€“] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is there a single Ukrainian tattoo artist that hasn't done nazi tattoos at this point?

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Probably went out of business.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah cause they made enough money doing nazi tattoos to retire

[โ€“] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

They should have sanded off all the nazi ink without anesthetic before returning them. Just as a bit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What happened to denazification? Why is Putin giving all the Nazis back?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

It was really about NATO encroaching on Russia's security lol, anything else is just further justification.

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Love how they made sure he was wearing proper merch once released

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Every fucking time lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

On the elbow, no less. Dude is a committed nazi.
