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

second-plane Mr president, the predominantly cis radlibs claiming that "all tankies are transphobic" are about to visit the trans tankie website and discover we're even more far left because of our queerness, not despite it

I didn't bother actually looking at the OOP until now but I'm one of the people being quoted, the one who mentions it's probably the Volga. Yeah, obviously I'm not saying Lenin put a bunch of German people there, but that he established the Volga region as its own state entity.

I just haven't really investigated this subject, but the reason they were displaced is that the Nazis used ethnic Germans multiple times as an excuse for annexing parts of countries and sometimes even had the support of a portion of said population. This was also the reason for the postwar relocation of Germans westward.

Part of me feels like Sudetenland, etc. give this a basis even though it seems like a crude solution, and of course both Redditors and atrocity propagandists like to act like they were just put in Gulags or cast into the Siberian wilderness when that is not what happened, but I already have too many ongoing research projects . . .

Hell yeah, it was completely justified. These radlibs get all their history from the US Department of State.

What makes you say it was justified?

You gotta be shitting me. We criticize China's dogshit foreign policy (especially during the fucking cold war) around here all the time, including their unfortunately positive opinion of Kissinger. Someone should send this asshole a collage of all the celebration posts we made when that war criminal fuck suddenly found himself in hell.
