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

![nerd](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/c3c351bb-cee7-484c-aecf-5b87fbc2f496.gif "emoji nerd") you can't assume someone is a Nazi just because they volunteered for the Nazis and served in a Nazi division and views his time under the Nazis as the pinnacle of his life! If you think he's a Nazi just for doing that then you're the real nazi ![smuglord](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png "emoji smuglord")

Even if this were true, if someone somehow Mr. Beaned himself into the ranks of the SS without supporting the nazis, why would you ever feel the need to defend them if you were not yourself a fascist? Surely there are better things to do online.

Even if you could make the argument that the SS had a lot of conscripts who weren't particularly happy to be there, this dude openly bragged about how his time in the SS was the best time of his life. Also Himmler literally praised this unit for being really good at burning down Polish villages.

But comrade, could visibility of justice be increased through defenestration?

Therefore I would like to present my alternative thesis: "To the Window"

Those people should get damnatio memoriae. And barbara-pit

[–] booty@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

the fun part about defenestration is that they might survive, in which case you get 2 defenestrations for the price of one ![lea-happy](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0f8e3e53-c831-43ef-bdf2-86007b38fe86.png "emoji lea-happy")

It's insane to me that this is the moment they decide that an issue is complicated with more than one side to consider. It's never homeless, imperialism, or over policing. It's always Israel, Nazis, and landlords.

I know guys who only say things like "I feel kinda sorry for him" in regards to white mass shooters.

For some reason, white mass shooters the only people who they think deserve a sympathetic overview of their life story.

The same guys say that shoplifters and turnstile jumpers should be shot.

I need to get these people out of my fucking life.

I am once again presenting my thesis "This is hell and we are being punished".

Like jesus christ.

hey, giving a pledge of loyalty to adolf hitler doesn't make you a nazi

the SS was literally part of the party. it is not possible to be any more of a nazi.

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

Just a harmless lil' old death squad, come on guise

"We weren't weeeeeeally nazis UwU, we just wanted eveythin they wanted nyan :3"

Trudeau: Well that settles it then, I just can't [pretend to] stay angry at that face

[–] Slaanesh@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Remember when the arguments were more "Just because you were a Nazi soldier doesn't make you a Nazi, what choice did many have? It's not like they were members of the SS!". Miss those days. The dude volunteered to attack his own people, to murder and wipe out his neighbors. There is no forgiveness.

I wonder what the editors on the Waffen SS wiki page are up to thinking-about-it

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

sicko-speeeeen so much spin...

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

literally don't even care, nazi conscripts should be mulched too

past, present, future - mulch is eternal

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Nazi. This person is a Nazi. They are literally defending the fucking SS. It's time to deal with these people in a dark basement in Russia.

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

When someone is at the point of clean wehrmachting the SS, there is genuinely nothing more you can do for them other then throw hands. cure-for-fascism

[–] rubpoll@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The people who insist we can't generalize Nazis are the exact same people who insist we should nuke the Three Gorges Dam.

[–] LeZero@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Reaching mainstream hitler-detector levels previously thought unreachable by scientists

Im going to have everyone who defends nazis even once thrown in a prison for 10 years at least if I dont have them shot on the spot

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

That liberal is the exact same kind of liberal to chant "the only good (slur here) is a dead (slur here)" when it comes to the enemies of the hour for the ruling class, in this case Russians.
