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

Very impressive to write an article where every single statement is a lie

like

"We took two of the most powerful and evil regimes in history [WW2 Germany and Japan] and transformed them into liberal, peace-loving societies. How was this miracle accomplished? Quite simply, we occupied both nations, reeducated and democratized their populations, restructured their governments, put their war criminals on trial, and demilitarized and denazified their societies. We ripped them down to the bone and started fresh."

no u didnt

And if they did, is this article saying we should do this to the Israelis?

reeducated and democratized their populations, restructured their governments, put their war criminals on trial, and demilitarized and denazified their societies.

Oh okay, so we're cool with the USSR then?

bruh, the US/West just took all the war criminals and put them in charge of shit. Who does this person think was running west Germany? Deeply unserious.

Even if this was true, this isn’t even what Israel wants. The US left Germany and Japan except military. Israel wants every Palestinian to be killed they don’t need to worry about rebellion.

It's a vaguely good argument for invading Israel, admittedly.
