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
If you have to deal with libs and that poem - let them know something that changes the context of poem completely. The writer called Hitler an "instrument sent by god" and he was only worried about the Nazis after they came for his church.
I don’t think they care about any of that. Bringing up the fact that the US removed “communists” from its version is more interesting because they didn’t want people to sympathize with communists massacred by fascists.
I don't know what they care about but...
We care. But I don't think they care about that at all. In fact - I'd bet money on it.

And then slapped that butchered quote over the entrance to a museum with the stated goal of highlighting the dangers of dehumanizing people.
Because they didn't want people to be sympathetic to communists.
Well yes that's very much what the text of the poem is about
Libs don't know the context. They think of him ~~as a good guy~~ as a neutral observer who didn't know better.
[Edit: I realize now a "good guy" is wrong.]
I interpreted the poem as a former nazi sympathiser growing to understand why what he did was wrong
I believe it was specifically written by a catholic priest but yes
