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.

If we'd use the logic of the black book, we'd have to do exactly that, as it counts all the Wehrmacht soldiers killed by the Red Army and the communist partisans in self defense as "victims of communism". Can't have anti-commuinism without clean Wehrmacht propaganda after all.

Not to mention that the nazis did almost all of that killing in a mere fraction of the 12 years they were in power. The deportations only picked up speed when the war was already underway. And it's not as if they were anywhere near being done with the atrocities they had dreamt up for Eastern Europe when they were finally stopped. If the Nazis would've ever had controlled an area as large as the AES states combined, for as long as the USSR existed, the death count would be immeasurable.

Saying the communists were worse than the nazis is full-blown Hitler apologia and should always be treated as such.

That's Black Book of Communism to be clear, not The Black Book of Soviet Jewry, Polish Jewry, and Poland that that title is taken from which are documents of the Holocaust carried out during and shortly after the war
