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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Reminds me a bit of this thread from /r/HistoryMemes

Europeans talking about American Racial Tensions (MLK) vs Europeans talking about Romani people (Hitler)

comments proceed to prove the post 100% correct

It's amazing how their racist arguments about Romani people are basically exactly the same as American racist arguments about black people, but they can't see the connection.

All of that "but they don't integrate well" is bullshit too. Jewish people integrated into European nations, while maintaining an independent cultural identity, and were still subject of ridicule and oppression starting from the Alfred Dreyfus affair and culminating with the Holocaust.

It's just white supremacy.

Reminds me of something I read that went on during world war 1; apparently the German government at the time wanted to prove that the Jewish people were letting Germans die in war but not contributing themselves and conducted a study that SURELY was going to prove that, right?

Well actually the study proved that Jewish people were participating in the military in higher numbers than non-Jewish people and so they kept the results of the study under wraps.
