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

East Prussians were expulsed because their country had just started WW2, committed the literal Holocaust and then rightfully got its shit kicked in. And this isn't event the first time i see an Atlantic council ghoul compare the displacement of Palestinians to that of people from the former easternmost parts of Germany (parts which were, btw, stolen from Polish and Baltic people in a settler colonialist expansion move to begin with). This is just another round of comparing Palestinians and the literal OG nazis, and once more it boils down to "well the literal fucking NSDAP was not as bad as these people whose hospitals have just been bombed to shit".

also they would go through and find records of voting for the NSDAP, if you abstained and did not settle or support the holocaust, you got to stay

turns out a lot of people supported the nazis

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?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

This is going to get me in trouble, but here goes

Its not like the ghoul abandoned the idea

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 years ago

Never EVER analyze why anything happens. Understanding history is just being able to list lots of things that happened.

That was ethnic cleansing, even if done by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but also other contemporary events such as Greek-Turkish population exchanges.

This guy is seeking approval by appealing to libs' moralism, or rather by reassuring them that what the Israeli State is doing is OK actually. Well, people forced out of their homes and forced to move many kilometers away because a state wants to move the line on the ground to a more favorable location might not agree.

But alas, liberals go by "does this make me feel good or bad?" instead of "what effect will this have?"

This is going to get me in trouble, but here goes:

Fascists get the pit, racist fascists get the piranha pool.

At some point this became "politically incorrect" and a cardinal sin. When? Why?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"This is going to get me in trouble..." yeah, good that they knew.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

I was just thinking the same thing like dude just don’t fucking say it

"One more genocide, bro. Please just let us do one more genocide."

crackers have no right to say any race is criminally inclined when they are this obsessed with killing people they don't like.

If something was common in the past, then it can't be bad. Thanks twitter guy.

I appreciate that they're at least starting to admit that israel-cool is commiting ethnic cleansing. A few weeks ago you were being histrionic for pointing this out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

imagine if israel-cool ethnically cleansed Hawaii

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Great strategy to legitimize ethnic cleansing right as the West is losing its hegemony and is about to spiral into a century of humiliation. Definitely won't regret it when Whiteoids start getting expelled back to Europe.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Europe belongs to the rest of the world, whitey can get deported to India or Thailand where they can deal with the climate they created

Oops! All nazis!

Its just such an idiotic argument, at what point is it okay to say that the sins of our ancestors are theirs and we are not doing them anymore going forward

The thought of well i can be the last one to do a horrible thing never crosses their mind
