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

Achieving political aims “by any means necessary” is a-okay so long as the West likes you enough (bonus if you’re white but not needed. See lib apologia for South Korea and Taiwan before “democratization”).

The fact that this conversation came from trying to smear Palestinians because of some Nazi sympathetic figure (who had little legitimacy and was only there because the limeys kept him in power) is more than a bit ironic. More so with the double genocide theory in action meant to justify Nazi collaborators.

"its complicated" is never used to defend Palestinian national resistance to occupation.

frothingfash Yes we joined Hitler and thought he was cool for exterminating the undesirables, but then we wanted our own Hitler for our OUN ethnostate and then those damned Ruskies ran right over our glorius pure land!

I really want to know what he meant by this. Is this guy not distinguishing between the Tsars and the Soviets or something?

[–] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

In my experience, the vast majority of libs don't make any distinction. The Russian Empire == the Soviet Union == the modern day Russian Federation. The crimes of one are the crimes of all.

The only exception is when talking about the Romanovs. The Romanovs were perfect little beans who were unjustly slaughtered by the evil rampaging Soviets, even if that person would hate the Empire for the pogroms (though to be fair, most people think Stalin did that)

The most interesting part is that OUN was created to fight against Poland.

bonus if you’re white but not needed

Saes ruling class still have a bee in their dick about Ireland liberating themselves from the British Empire, even as Ireland slotted perfectly into The West™ in most matters of imperial struggle.
