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

Its almost as if the Ukranians hated the Soviets and wanted to free themselves of Russian oppression........sure signing up with the SS wasn't the most optimal way to do that, but honestly can they be blamed?

Liberals hate socialists more than they hate fascists

the ukranians

ah yes, the ukranians as a whole with their unified ideology. how many ukrainians were in the red army compared to Literally The SS? thonk

It's important to note that pavlichenko was Ukrainian and that she defeated more than 300 V*ushites in the marketplace of ideas, using her honed argumentum ad Mosin

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And yet, where is her statue?

Probably turned into a Mrs. Butterworth or something

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh fuck, that reminded me of the statue of Lenin that they turned into Darth Vader negative

[–] ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago

Perfect intersection of Disney Lib Cringe with Fascist anti-communism

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

It's probably a crime to put up a statue of Pavlichenko under the anti-communist laws propagating in Eastern Europe.

also the Jewish people living in Ukraine that they massacred were Ukrainian

[–] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Very clear that they literally don't view Jews and Poles living there as Ukrainian.

[–] Zrc@hexbear.net 71 points 1 year ago (1 children)

your honor, my client hates Russians, so can he really be blamed for murdering hundreds of Jewish people?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 65 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

but honestly can they be blamed?

Yeah actually they can, you're signing up with an SS brigade full of fucking nazis you bird brain.

[–] SnAgCu@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago

this one HOLY shit

We'd write that as a joke, a strawman of what they think

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 57 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

but honestly can they be blamed?

stalin-approval yep

Signing up for the SS actually was the most optimal way to defeat the soviets. Fascism is rational, it is the most effective tool to destroy communism. Once these radlibs figure this out, most of them will become full throated fascists

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 37 points 1 year ago

Less "become" and more "the fascist inside them will finally shed its lib disguise"

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago

Well yeah. How often do you hear "the nazis were bad but so were the communists" or even "Hitler killed x amount of people but Mao killed 2x amount of people"? The obvious conclusion for them is to hail Hitler.

This is literally Baltic States history talking points

[–] ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ukraine and the Baltics are easily the most cuck nations on Earth

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

They are "nations" alright

The Ukraine SSR was literally created by the Soviets! The Banderite Ukrainian nationalists were ethno-supremacists which is why they wanted to claim Poland so bad! These people don't know anything!

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Yeah, one of the Banderite's issues was that there were too many non-Ukrainians in Ukraine. And since "Ukrainian" as an ethno-nationalist identity was on even sketchier grounds than most entho-nationalist phrenological bullshit that was most of the people in the Ukrainian SSR.
