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

As I've said before:
1984 george orwell animal farm authoritarianism no food holodomor 100 million dead
The "Holodomor" really is a huge propaganda coup.
You know what I don't see mentioned much? The decades and decades of war movies and history channel documentaries and related shit that puffed the Nazis up in to hyper-competent war wizards with super tanks while pretty much erasing all their political and ideological positions. An entire generations of Americans grew up knowing that the Tiger II was actually a Gundam, but very few if any of them learned anything at all abut Nazi economics or ideology.
Like you shouldn't be able to say "Public/Private Partnership" without being immediately denounced as a fascist, but no one knows where neo-liberal ideology actually came from, and it's popular in certain circles to claim neoliberalism isn't even real and is just a pejorative commies use.
Holodomor is so wild like society regressed to comparable understanding of "hight of the cold war" sovietologists. Like mf the archives were opened we know what happened
Yeah but also you have issues like post-Stalin USSR "admitting to" the Katyn Forest Massacre for political expedience so Soviet "documents" and "archives" are not always reliable since you can't really verify each and every one independently.
