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 [email protected]

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

Stalin didn't speak breathlessly about the "triumph of the Aryan race" or how the Indians inflicted famine on themselves by "breeding like rabbits". In fact, in the latter case, Stalin used both his executive power and personal sway to expedite aid to Bengal.

Stalin can and should be criticized (e.g. he was deeply homophobic from what I can tell), but drawing an equivalence between him and a monstrous colonialist and racial supremacist like Churchill is frankly disgusting.
