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

Who defeated the Nazis? Westerners have been brainwashed into thinking that WW2 was a war against the liberal democratic west.

American hating but can’t bring themselves to admit the Soviets did the heavy lifting

Maybe there's a better metaphor but with lend-lease it's like, okay so if you loan a forklift to the workers who have to do the heavy lifting, you'll then try to take all the credit when they're done with the heavy lifting?

Tbh there's a bit of a case for the Brits since they held off the Nazis in western Europe until America joined the war, then acted as a base of operations for coordinating the D Day landings and they were also important in the North Africa campaign. But tbh Britain mythologises this way too much and I'm really sick of seeing the whole cottage industry this country produces of films about how we won the war

I've been on a big kick of any media that depicts nazis but doesn't mention the communists is probably very bad analysis lately.
