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

"The Nazis, famously, didn't work their slave labourers to the bone and people weren't dying in concentration camps from beatings, starvation, and the denial of medical care but instead the only deaths that occurred were quick and clean!!"
The very notion that you can "solve" racism via extermination is laughable and it has no material basis.
You'd have an easier job convincing me that the Nazi war machine was going to spool down voluntarily after a successful WWII effort and that this would establish a long-running era of peace globally than you would arguing that the Nazi extermination machine was going to be put into disuse by somehow fixing racism.
love to hear how getting killed via gas in the shower was "quick and clean", yes indeed. nothing quite like being scared shitless, not knowing if today you get gas or water.
Also, the nails marks in the doors beg to differ on it being fast and painless
Its the foundation of the Right's own "Great Replacement Theory". They're convinced that their own shitty economic policies aren't to blame for declining birth rates. No, its a vast and insidious conspiracy of welfare queens, occluded marxist deep state bureaucrats, and woke corporations who are to blame for an absence of grandkids.
The withering of the white middle class must be a deliberate engineered genocide intended to eliminate a superior racial cohort. It can't just be Reaganomics spiking the wheels of working class rural white folks for some short term finance sector ROI.
You're starting from a materialist understanding of the war, in which coups and assassination attempts against senior leadership kept happening and international peace treaties couldn't be honored for fear of a domestic revolt against a perceived weak high command.
They're coming at it from a lifetime of "The Germans Were The Smartest, Most Badass, Most Sexiest soldiers that ever lived" History channel hagiographies. And so they have to assume that once the Nazis invented the Ultimate Super Weapon and swept the parts of the board that mattered, they'd settle into that 1000 year Reich they kept talking about.
Obviously, the Nazis had a plan with more foresight than the end of the next Blitzkrieg. Its not like they'd bungle a huge industrial advantage by plunging the bulk of their forces into a drawn out guerrilla war on the other side of the continent while their Western flank was left unguarded against an amassed intercontinental force. How could the mythical legendary military champions fumble the ball that hard? Nah! They must have just rolled bad on initiative or something.
