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

It amazes me that libs think that "ACkCHyuaLLY, nAZI StandS foR naTional SOcialisT 🤓" is some groundbreaking, novel, unheard of "secret" fact that not everybody knows already.

We all know what the fuck Nazi stands for. This isn't news. In fact, it's so not news that it's all right-wingers talk about whenever Nazism is brought up.

Unlike rightists, we just don't take what a white supremacist dictator dubs his party at face value because fuckers like Hitler are the kind to lie and manipulate words to serve their evil goals in whichever way seems best to them.

There’s a German cartoon from 1931 called “Das Firmenschild” (literally translates to “the company sign”), which picks up on exactly the supposed socialist character of the Nazi being a ruse to dupe disaffected workers. This shit was obsolete in 1931.

It's this one? It's a good illustration of how incoherent the Nazi party name sounded. National Socialist German Workers' Party. It has 2 left wing signifiers and 2 right wing. It would be like if I named a party in America the "Liberal Republican Conservative Democratic Party against MAGA and Wokeness." Actually now that I type that out that's exactly the kind of party that basic American liberals would want.

That’s the one.
