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 see they're running with the "fascism is rising because of this one dipshit and his magic speeches" explanation of world events again.

This is how Anastasia portrayed the Russian Revolution, lol. Libs still haven't graduated from a literal children's movie understanding of the world.

Everyone knows that Hitlerian hypnotism caused Nazi Germany

I remember even as a kid thinking that was bullshit. They'd show Hitler speaking and say he was this master orator. I watched iy and was like, yeah no

Look, I'm going to say something a little controversial and unpopular especially on a place like Hexbear but it's true and it has to be said, I never liked Hitler.

Yeah, that occurred to me while reading some of the response to the thread. No analysis of what fascism is, it's just when the Wrong Guy gets elected. If any of them took their Great Man beliefs seriously, they'd be conspiring to assassinate Trump.
