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

This has been a 70 years long struggle in Canada, they've been whitewashing the Galizien division for at least that long. This is the first time ANYTHING happened of any consequence (the speaker resigning and some discourse on the Grits) to the promotion of nazi shit here and this is the pushback.

Canada is such a nice polite country. Just don't ask about their multi-generations long project to nurture Nazi counter-insurgencies or their ongoing genocidal wars against First Nations people or what their mining companies are doing across the world or...

Yea, even when there was a spat of people correctly labeling Nazi monuments with spray paint there really wasn't that much of a reaction when people learned about their existence. The cops were even going to investigate one as a "hate crime". Of course they're all still standing to the best of my knowledge, and (un)surprisingly I haven't really heard anything about them during this round of people learning of Canada's love affair with "former" members of the ss

I drove past one of them today! They did a great job removing the spray paint. It looks like new. What a relief.

I'm glad the radical left hasn't done any permanent damage to bronze statues, like using nitric acid to eat the copper.

“One of the ways of getting into Canada during the postwar period ‘was by showing the SS tattoo,’ Canadian historian Irving Abella told 60 Minutes interviewer Mike Wallace. ‘This proved that you were an anti-Communist.’”
