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

Certainly not in 1941โ€“42, when the Soviet Union's Red Army took more casualties in a twelve-month period than any other military force in history.

As for 1945? Sure, the Soviet Union won that war. At a cost of 27 million deaths and tens of millions of injuries, which irreparably put the USSR behind for the upcoming Cold War, into which the United States strode with a comparatively tiny 400,000 wartime deaths and an essentially undamaged economy on the homefront.

This is their explanation as to why the soviets did the wrong thing. Like, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WHY ARE PEOPLE TAKING YOU SERIOUSLY COMPARING A GROUND INVASION WITH THE AIM OF EXTERMINATION TO FUCKING US CASUALTIES

Go ahead and compare nazi casualties and military presence between the fronts as well you absolute fuckhead. I guess the soviets were silly not considering being on a different fucking continent in order to protect their industry.
