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

If I subject myself to the takes of the absolute worst redditor of all time, you all have to be subjected to him too.

I absolutely envy anyone who has never come across this know-it-all dipshit

No, Eevee, it did not. That is incorrect and revisionist.

The Holocaust is specifically the term given the outcome of the "Final Solution" to the "Jewish Question". It is only applied to the extermination of Jewish people.

The extermination of other groups is not the Holocaust. It is also not a consistent crime. For example, the extermination of Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians), Romani etc because they were deemed lesser races would meet the definition of genocide. The murder of people the disabled, of LGBTQI, of trade unionists and other political "bolsheviks" and those "influenced by liberal Jewish socialist values" is a Crime Against Humanity. It is not genocide. Genocide is defined as applying to national, ethnical, religious, or racial groups per the 1948 CPPCG.

All point to the barbarism of the Nazi Party, but they are not all the same crime. They are myriad crimes.

Nonetheless, it is factually incorrect to label the Holocaust - which was called the Jewish Holocaust until the 1970s until it was deemed the Jewish adjective was redundant and a tautology - as applying to any other groups targeted and exterminated by the Nazis.

Love the accidental admittance of the Holocaust Industry and how vile the reasons for making it capital letters The Holocaust are. Like Finkelstein has pointed out so wonderfully, the idea is that the Holocaust was wrong specifically because it was done to God's chosen people by gentiles, and that that is the unique nature of it.
