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

Cheers to my communist great grandpappy who was a station master in rural Norway and used his hidden radio to help derail a Nazi cargo train

Thank him for his service on my behalf

If he didn't die 40 years before I was born we'd be best friends I'm sure

Me when the people I lost a war to make me pick up the mines I left everywhere: oooaaaaaaauhhh

Jesus fuck that's what that emoji is called. I've been trying to recall it, as if I had imagined it in a fever dream, for the past several months.

Imagine thinking it's evil to make Nazis deal with the mines they themselves laid.

Guy with runes in his name says what

barbara-pit

The krauts put them there so it's only fair they helped clean their mess

An infamous figure in the black metal scene

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes

He's a gigantic neo-pagan nazi weirdo with absurdly baffling beliefs even for a nazi, initially got famous for church arson and murdering another black metal musician in the 90s

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Good thing black metal isn't known for having many Nazis besides that guy side-eye-1 side-eye-2

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

You've got it all wrong, those bands just love traditional Slavic symbols

Varg is the ur-black metal nazi though. Though I guess at least the murder he committed wasn't a hate crime but some dumb beef with another nerd

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I've mentioned it before but Varg is such a dumbass he got his wife to film himself trying to swim across a river while wearing a chain mail hauberk and he almost drowned. He is a clown man without the makeup.

Punk solidarity Metal

Nazis fuck off!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (10 children)

It's the most infuriating thing about the genre. It's one of the only genres of music that helps my mental health because the anger and fierce riffs calm me down and then I find out one of the band members is a nazi. And suddenly I'm right back to being mad and uncomfortable.

Norway had one of the strongest support for its nazi puppet government, along with the dutch and french, they joined SS volunteer units in high proportions. However making former occupation forces clear up landmines they put in should be like at the bottom when whining about Norway (especially as an norwegian lol).

Why are German Fascists terrible at mine clearing?

spoilerThey did Nazi them.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago (4 children)

They obviously didn't attend Mein Kamp

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If nazis don't like stepping on mines they should git gud at clearing mines. Skill issue. smuglord

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

Master race can't even master digging up mines.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Norway being based as fuck is history I didn't know about

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago

They've got a lot to be legitimately proud of in WW2. Another good example is their sabotage of nazi heavy-water production. That significantly set back nazi research into nuclear weapons.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Speaking of unspeakable evil, Norway too has its share of despicable, evil and shameful behaviour.

Yes! Finally, somebody other than me is going to acknowledge the Norwegian ruling class’s complicity in—

After WWII German POWs were forced to clear minefields and to walk through them after they had cleared them, to make sure they were really clear. Hundreds died or were maimed.

oh.

I'm imagining a Norwegian guy sitting on the sides watching them run through the minefield, casually eating an apple, completely undisturbed when Nazis blow up mines and die or get maimed. That made up guy would be cool.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I support Made Up Guy in his endeavors.

proceeds to describe something unspeakably cool

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago

should've cleared them better

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

TBH, people who were made to do it were mostly conscripts, actual Nazis got cushy jobs in NATO and FRG instead.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quite a few mines in Ukraine right now, after the war what's left of Azov should be used for this.

There's a movie about this, but with Denmark instead of Norway. It's well done, I've seen it.

In terms of nordic countries actions during WW2, Norway's probably the least "evil"

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Eeeh, lots of Norwegians volunteered in the Hirden, or local chapters of the SS and went to fight on the East front.

The holocaust collaborators in the police force kept their positions and some of them kept working through the 60s or 70s.

Lots of Jewish people and communist sympathizers were killed or enslaved. For example, lots of roads that are still used today were built by slaves from the death camps.

And if anyone's wondering why the norwegian Jewish death tolls were relatively small, it's because Norway didn't have a lot of Jewish people in the first place, as Jewish people had been forbidden to live in Norway since the 1800s.

Norway is a bloodsoaked imperialist country and a bootlicking vassal of the American empire.

It is the sixth largest producer of weapons for the imperialist powers and is guilty of participating in the monstrous bombings of middle Eastern civilians in the service of Yankee interests.

Do not give us credit. We are bastards like everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Like, the last two runes in their name are Nazi right? Is the first one too?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I looked at their profile and they're a Nazi.

of course, Norway is a communist country as we all know

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

And who laid those mines in the first place? (liberal cricket noise)
