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

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

[–] [email protected] 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????

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 years ago

Got it in one, their replies are just as unhinged

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 years ago

Everything is nazis except actual nazis, who are fine

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago

Oops! All Nazis!

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago

Finns are chuds confirmed

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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

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

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 years ago (3 children)

This was their airforce until 2020.

Ackshually the swastika was a gift to the Finnish Air Force from a Herman Goring’s brother-in-law who later founded the Swedish Nazi party so it can’t represent the same beliefs. not-hillary

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

Also the same guy that inspired actual Nazis to use swastika.

The aside glance of the dude on the far right (pun intended) makes this look like a poster for a comedy movie.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

Also the nervous look of the guy actually holding the flag like he is just realizing what he's holding.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

record scratch You're probably wondering how I got here...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

According to this it is from before the Nazis were a thing. So maybe a little misleading but also weird they dragged their feet to change it.

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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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

The reds losing the civil war and its consequences

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

*Were chilled out till ~80s

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 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 🤠

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Finnish Bolshevik? Does he have a twitter?

[–] [email protected] 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago
