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

Cheers to my communist great grandpappy who was a station master in rural Norway and used his hidden radio to help derail a Nazi cargo train

[–] JK1348@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank him for his service on my behalf

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

If he didn't die 40 years before I was born we'd be best friends I'm sure

Me when the people I lost a war to make me pick up the mines I left everywhere: ![oooaaaaaaauhhh](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/22951af8-194b-4c32-abe2-6f93aaa4808b.gif "emoji oooaaaaaaauhhh")

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Jesus fuck that's what that emoji is called. I've been trying to recall it, as if I had imagined it in a fever dream, for the past several months.

Imagine thinking it's evil to make Nazis deal with the mines they themselves laid.

[–] DocCrankenstein@lemm.ee 67 points 1 year ago

Like a toddler being mad they have to put their toys away when done playing.

Guy with runes in his name says what

![barbara-pit](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/a37d97d4-adaf-4d3b-9590-57d3590bc268.png "emoji barbara-pit")

The krauts put them there so it's only fair they helped clean their mess

Wait, someone in the replies is addressing him as Varg?! Is this his alt ![michael-laugh](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3858ea0f-f09c-4c6f-95a1-5dda154612ad.png "emoji michael-laugh")

Extremely cucked behaviour of him to simp for the nazis as a Norwegian but completely expected

[–] Sinister@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Norway had one of the strongest support for its nazi puppet government, along with the dutch and french, they joined SS volunteer units in high proportions. However making former occupation forces clear up landmines they put in should be like at the bottom when whining about Norway (especially as an norwegian lol).

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I checked the account after reading your post earlier today and it's literally Varg, with an account full of shilling for his dogshit racism ttrpg lmaoooo

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

Norway being based as fuck is history I didn't know about

[–] daisy@hexbear.net 63 points 1 year ago

They've got a lot to be legitimately proud of in WW2. Another good example is their sabotage of nazi heavy-water production. That significantly set back nazi research into nuclear weapons.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 56 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If nazis don't like stepping on mines they should git gud at clearing mines. Skill issue. ![smuglord](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png "emoji smuglord")

Master race can't even master digging up mines.

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 56 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why are German Fascists terrible at mine clearing?

spoilerThey did Nazi them.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago (4 children)

They obviously didn't attend Mein Kamp

I'm imagining a Norwegian guy sitting on the sides watching them run through the minefield, casually eating an apple, completely undisturbed when Nazis blow up mines and die or get maimed. That made up guy would be cool.

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I support Made Up Guy in his endeavors.

Quite a few mines in Ukraine right now, after the war what's left of Azov should be used for this.

P sure he’ll have been executed by Nazi death squads for betraying glorious Ukraine long before the opportunity arises

TBH, people who were made to do it were mostly conscripts, actual Nazis got cushy jobs in NATO and FRG instead.

[–] janNatan@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a movie about this, but with Denmark instead of Norway. It's well done, I've seen it.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Sounds good though.

[–] holygon@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's actually not named that originally in Danish. It's named "Under Sandet", which means "Under The Sand". I think this title is a little bit more poetic, and less on the nose than "Land of Mine" hahahha. Just some context, if you're interested.

Thanks bro, means a lot. I definitely need don't have a picture of my Norwegian ancestor actually shaking hands with hitler

i am no longer advocating for fascists to get the wall

this is way better

[–] Circle_circle@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In terms of nordic countries actions during WW2, Norway's probably the least "evil"

[–] Big_Bob@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Eeeh, lots of Norwegians volunteered in the Hirden, or local chapters of the SS and went to fight on the East front.

The holocaust collaborators in the police force kept their positions and some of them kept working through the 60s or 70s.

Lots of Jewish people and communist sympathizers were killed or enslaved. For example, lots of roads that are still used today were built by slaves from the death camps.

And if anyone's wondering why the norwegian Jewish death tolls were relatively small, it's because Norway didn't have a lot of Jewish people in the first place, as Jewish people had been forbidden to live in Norway since the 1800s.

Norway is a bloodsoaked imperialist country and a bootlicking vassal of the American empire.

It is the sixth largest producer of weapons for the imperialist powers and is guilty of participating in the monstrous bombings of middle Eastern civilians in the service of Yankee interests.

Do not give us credit. We are bastards like everyone else.

Like, the last two runes in their name are Nazi right? Is the first one too?

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

Yeah, I looked at their profile and they're a Nazi.

[–] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

The middle one is used by the American Nazi party and also the republican party.

And who laid those mines in the first place? (liberal cricket noise)

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

rune guy getting mad about dead nazis

[–] the_kid@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

of course, Norway is a communist country as we all know

[–] booty@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Guess they didn't do a very good job clearing them then did they
