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

I read through several comments by the user, and while undoubtably knowledgeable, I find their key moral judgments to be lacking support. Tons of citations and dates for the mundane stuff, mixed with “[the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact] was an act of imperialism against unwilling populations, worthy of a capitalist colonial power and distinctly unsocialist in nature”. I don’t know the history well enough to rebut that claim but it is frustrating to read a compelling narrative punctuated with unsupported claims snuck in.
somebody with an account could ask followup questions about sourcing the unsupported claims. just make sure to sound like a curious lib and hide your power level
I've thought about making an account on multiple occasions. But I know if I do, I'll get called a CCP bot because my account would be a day old and I'm questioning a Western consensus.
Ultimately it's just not worth my mental health and energy to dive back into the ring, but kudos to anyone who does.
I just like asking libs, "so what would happeb if the Soviet Union didn't go into Poland?" and watch them spin the gears as they learn that the Polish government had already fled
