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

I actually don't know the history in detail, were the Germans in east Prussia actually removed or did they mostly just flee west to escape the soviets?
Between 1945 and 1950, somewhere around 12 million ethnic Germans were forcibly expelled from within the new boundaries of Poland and Czechoslovakia.
Between 0.5 and 2.5 million people are claimed to have died during this expulsion.
Oof gotta say the population displacements the ussr performed are one of the few things I find no excuse for. Like line up all the nazis and shoot them, but displacing ethic groups is immoral no matter how you slice it.
