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

When you love and respect landlords so much that you erase Finnish peasants, workers and socialists from history
This is the average liberal understanding of Ukraine's position in world war 2. I've heard my whole life that the Soviets were so evil that the nazis were welcomed. There's never a mention of which Ukrainians welcomed the nazis (or their class loyalties). The narrative is so unscrutinized that I've heard this from Ukrainian descended jews saying it to me (also a Ukrainian descended jew).
So true! I too choose to believe Goebbels at face value!
This reminds me of a Twitter interaction I saw a while ago. Some Ukraine flag guy was claiming that it was actually Ukraine which won WWII because the 1st Ukrainian Front was involved in the Battle of Berlin (not how front naming worked but yeah). Then someone brought up the rpes which happened in Berlin right afterwards and asked if that means Ukrainians were rpists. OP did a complete 180 and blamed all the crimes on "the Russians in the Soviet Army".
Fucking Ukraine flag bros man.
The same people arguing the Nazis were welcomed as liberators are the same people doing the mental olympics trying to justify how Bandera/OUN were not in fact actual Nazis and how that swastika on every Ukrainian army photo is actually just a norse rune or some shit.
Don't bother going there.
Imagine erasing the 3 million Ukrainians who fought in the Red Army from history in favor of a few thousand dudes who really wanted to do genocide.
