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
"Not really fair to nazis (cites BBOC)" jesus christ and that's still up while the person who said nazis/sympathizers should be shot has their comment removed. Scratched liberals show where their preference is in "both are bad" the second is the USSR is defended.
I got into it with that dude and he ended up denying that the Irish famine was a genocide.
Calls us genocide deniers, denies a genocide
It's always projection
Drought plus kulaks burning food out of spite, where more Russians died than Ukrainians? Genocide.
Blight of a single crop plus a continued net export of food, where only Irish died? Not a genocide.
The one that the Irish still call "that time when the English stole all the food"?
thanks for narrowing it down. Now we know he's English.
Did he now?!
cries in Derry
This is it everyone, turns out we weren't genocided because BBOC man says so 😞
Jokes aside I got banned from r/196 for calling a lot of them out on their Irish genocide denial and Liberal takes on the conditions that led to the formation of the IRA. Clown energy 🤡 that sub.
At least they're not as bad as "The English and their History" (which I picked up on a whim) where the author not only denies that it was a genocide, but also praises the English for breaking records in money collected for disaster relief. But what got me to go from morbid curiosity about imperial apologia to stopping reading was when we got to the 20th century and you'd believe that the UK single handedly won both world wars and the evil populace rewarded these noble men by electing the evil socialists. But luckily that was corrected when Thatcher came in and set everything right.
It wasn't apparent that Robert Tombs was a tory hack until late early modern period, but then it goes off the rails.
