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 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.

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
you have been downvoted.copypasta
I got into it with that dude and he ended up denying that the Irish famine was a genocide.
Calls us genocide deniers, denies a genocide
It's always projection
Drought plus kulaks burning food out of spite, where more Russians died than Ukrainians? Genocide.
Blight of a single crop plus a continued net export of food, where only Irish died? Not a genocide.
the Irish famine
The one that the Irish still call "that time when the English stole all the food"?
thanks for narrowing it down. Now we know he's English.
Did he now?!
cries in Derry
This is it everyone, turns out we weren't genocided because BBOC man says so 😞
Jokes aside I got banned from r/196 for calling a lot of them out on their Irish genocide denial and Liberal takes on the conditions that led to the formation of the IRA. Clown energy 🤡 that sub.
God sent the blight, but the English made the famine
when your modlog accidentally agrees that the lemm.ee user is a nazi
should we warn people that Lemm.ee is a Nazi instance?
I was browsing a thread this morning on the topic of Hexbear and a lot of them seems genuinely cool and have a pro-federate-with-hexbear stance. There's definitely some reactionaries over there, but there appear to be some cool folks as well.
EDIT: To add to this, I think we should absolutely target reactionaries anywhere (of course), but we SHOULD NOT let it turn into a war against other whole lemmy instances. There are cool people on most of these instances, and we should support them in their struggle to cleanse nazi filth from their own corner of the lemmyverse.
Fair enough
Why would the Lenin and the USSR topple the Czar when he was just two days away from inventing an immortality serum that would have prevented every starvation, death of old age, and death against the Nazis. So the Soviet Union is responsible for all those deaths.
Don’t forget, famines didn’t happen in Russia before the evil USSR took over.
And there were no other famines in any other parts of the world when the holographymordor was happening. None at all.
wanting the workers to control the means of production is even worse than doing the holocaust! Why? Because a reactionary wrote a book full of lies. Checkmate.
that number is outdated they actually killed ~~100 gorillion~~ like a whole lot more
The numbers of deaths includes 'births that could possibly have happened'. So logically as every new generation would've been born, Stalin's kill count doubles, truly the death count of gommunism is literally infinity
I estimate that about 100 billion people should have been born within the last hour. Less than a billion have actually been born. I must conclude that capitalism kills at least 99 billion people an hour.
Gorilla erasure AND holocaust erasure smh
nice Holocaust denial, nazi
That is severely understating the number of deaths nazis caused. I wonder why the user would do this.
Also, why would he use a source for communist deaths written by fascists, at least one of which was so fascist and disingenuous about his aims the project got disavowed by the other authors?
I don't like these new rules SHOW US THEIR USERNAME
I'm more amused by the ones accusing us of being edgy teenagers
Edginess is about caring about other people and wanting society to improve. The more you care and want society to improve, the edgier you are.
I am 25 but people think I'm either freshly out of hs and some even think I'm under 15 (I don't live where my ethnicity is the default + it's mixed AFAIK [family adoptions]). That's how you age on communism. UwU
Don't know which is funnier, this or the guy below him who said commies killed a full billion.
I think one said about 600 million in total from china and the ussr, and a full billion from other socialist regimes iirc
killing the whole world
Hell, their vision of the USSR is so damn stronk I wonder if they're actually closet fans.
Treating morality as a math problem is so stupid. Did you know that Audie Murphy killed more people than the Golden State Killer, the Zodiac Killer, and the BTK Killer combined? Therefore he was mathematically more evil than all three of those serial killers combined I guess, reasons and the nature of the victims be damned.
Also these people never want to scale for time or number of participants: the Nazis were around for a measly ~12 years, while the USSR was around for ~69 years , and Nazi Germany was one nation while "the communists" during the Cold War consisted of several nations.
Treating the Black Book numbers as though they're reliable (they aren't) for the sake of argument:
Nazis: 17 million divided across 12 years is ~1,416,666 per year average deaths, from one nation / political project.
The Communists: 100 million across 69 years is ~1,449,275 per year average deaths, from multiple nations / political projects.
The Nazis weren't going to stop themselves, they had to be stopped by the USSR. If they had lasted as long as the USSR, they would have comparable kill-counts to what the extremely unreliable Black Book of Communism attributes to the Communists. If you added in the kills from the other fascist nations (Imperial Japan in particular) instead of deliberately skewing the comparison by having all of communism throughout the Cold War against only the Nazis, then the fascists far outpace the communists, even by bullshit Black Book numbers.
Also the nazi number is a low ball if you count missing civilians, there were something like 20 million missing Soviet citizens, presumed dead
even if you ignore missing civilians it's a lowball, the european theater of world war 2 was like 30-40 million deaths. I don't see any good reason 100% of those deaths shouldn't be billed to the nazis.
Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately.

Excellent point
Say the line again Hexbear:
SCRATCH A LIBERAL
They'll never beat our high score
I feel like someone is going to screencap this and use it as "proof" because they don't understand that you're being facetious.
OK Borisbot, I saw this documentary called Red Dawn and saw how the evil pinko commies destroyed AMERICAN lives. I will not sit here and be forced to read the denigration of people of finance lives being lost or spit upon the name of Patrick Swayze.
