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

Is he really trying to equate the Russians with the SS despite them fighting the Russians alongside the literal SS

It's such a mixed metaphor that it doesn't make sense. Putin is literally Hitler, but thanks Hitler for fighting the Soviets in WW2. All around just a massivehitler-detector

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

Putin is Hitler’s bad half. Hitler is Hitler’s good half

So let me get this straight, they're adopting Maoist Standard English and using it to imply Russia is evil Nazis, but the actual Nazis were fine????

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago

Got it in one, their replies are just as unhinged

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

Everything is nazis except actual nazis, who are fine

[–] muddi@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

That's just how fascism works, there are telltale characteristics: adopting the language of the left, rewriting history, identifying a vague national "enemy" etc

[–] Stoatmilk@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago

Oops, I accidentally had nazi stuff in my tweet supporting ethnic cleansing

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

Well, nafo posters aren't a good indicator. But they are bad in other ways

Although they have nice education and safety net, which they are only starting to tear down

[–] windowlicker@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago

oh no! my anti-communism got mixed in with nazism! i wonder how this happened!

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago

Oops! All Nazis!

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

I made a big mistake tweeting a map with Nazi names. But you know what I'm not ashamed of? Allying with the Nazis.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

Finns are chuds confirmed

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the Soviets should've occupied your stupid fucking country, Stalin was a kitten

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

fuck that. just sink the whole country, leave the north for the sami people and nothing of value would be lost

[–] ksynwa_from_lemmygrad@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can someone pretty please give me a tldr about Finland in WW2?

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Were doing contacts with nazis in 1938, stalin decided its too close to leningrad for comfort and that working people of finland will greet them as liberators. Half assed guaido government, didn't go that well, decided just to take territory too close to leningrad. Finns then actively helped siege of leningrad and were allied to nazis.

Then they decided to chill out after germany was defeated.

[–] ksynwa_from_lemmygrad@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Thanks.

It's not gonna surprise you but the reddit narrative seems to be that both USSR and Germany wanted to colonize them so they chose the lesser evil which was the side that committed the holocaust.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

Finnish behavior during 1921-1928 was ... very questionable in karelia. So even they weren't actively allied to nazis, it was still dodgy.

But stalin also fucked up by creating puppet government without even doing anything, its like "hello, this is your new government, also we bomb you now".

If only ussr had high tech cia infiltration methods sadness

[–] Yurt_Owl@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

The reds losing the civil war and its consequences

[–] CrushKillDestroySwag@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

The number of people who think that the USSR was worse than the Nazis is really high. As widely debunked as it is, the Black Book of Communism must be recognized as a successful propaganda piece.

[–] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I wouldn't call Finns chilled out.

If you took a random Finn, any single one, and put them in a room with Hitler, Mussolini (or some other fascist, I dunno), and a random Russian, plus a gun with two bullets, they'd double-tap the random Russian and ask for more ammo.

The only people with a more deep hatred and revanchism against Russia is Poland.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

*Were chilled out till ~80s

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

There used to be a ton of communist student radicals in the 60s

Boomers are still butthurt about them to this day

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

I think Estonia might be more anti-Russia than Finland. Not sure about Lithuania and Latvia but they’re up there, too. But hey it’s not a competition 🤠

[–] Omniraptor@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm from St Petersburg Russia and have been to Finland a few times (granted, before 2022), and at least back then this was not my experience. to put it mildly

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

So there are a lot of issues here, but praising the Nazis while saying "ruSSian" to criticize Russia baffles me.

[–] reaper_cushions@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The ruSSians are as bad as the Nazis who were FINE, actually!

[–] AlkaliMarxist@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

"Capitalizing SS to draw parallels with the SS. Who where good actually."

CAN SOMEONE POST A FINNISH PERSON BEING COOL OR AT LEAST NOT CRINGE ON TWITTER FOR ONCE

THERE HAS TO BE AT LEAST ONE

oooaaaaaaauhhh

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Finnish people being cringe in online places is very common, sorry to say. Present company excluded obviously meow-hug

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You'd just think that out of 6 million people there'd be a couple of non-embarrassing ones posting on English twitter doomer

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

They are cringe on twitter, but there is and always has been a lot of Finnish communists. They really had to kill a lot of them to stop Finland joining the Russian Revolution.

Finnish Bolshevik? Does he have a twitter?

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Their metal bands are cool.

[–] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

The crowd that gathered for Lenin at Finland station was pretty based.

[–] cannibalbanquet@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Their experimental electronic music is cool anyway, Mika Vaino and Sasu Rippati are great

Also Tom of Finland

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

remember the help we got from the literal nazis

those damn ruSSians

Both praising the nazis and using them to villify others big-cool

[–] Sator_is_Tense@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

without Germans help at WWII

"without the help of my own govt's direct nazi collaboration"

[–] wombat@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

stalin shouldn't have stopped at tali–ihantala

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

the bad thing about nazis is the symbols they used. i agree with all their beliefs, of course.

[–] FoolishFool@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

It looks like a horsey.
