If you need to be a pedantic shit about it, just coin new terms. What Germany did to the Jews was an internal genocide. What Israel is doing to Palestine is a settler colonial genocide. Now we have terminology sufficient to get through a whole miserable book on the subject, and it took a quarter as many words as that spineless equivocating nonsense.

I’d argue that the holocaust was also settler colonial in nature. Germany was stealing the land of its neighbors in order to destroy their culture and people, and replace them with German settlers. The holocaust was the engine of this cultural and demographic erasure and was key to their colonization plans. It operated internally too of course but I thought I’d point that out

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
