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

Has anyone noticed a huge uptick in libs saying the phrase "historical revisionism" in the last couple years? What drove this? Ukraine?
EDIT: Even google trends sees it
It's libs getting exposed to actual history for a change when mainstream narrations are getting a bit too cognitive dissonant, and they are violently refusing to acknowledge it instead of just ignoring like previously.
I bet you're right about Ukraine, since now they have to whitewash the Holocaust more and more, they must accuse people of doing a revisionism if they get called out on it or even to just keep their facade of righteousness going (No, it's the tankies who are wrong)
It might be that or there might be a specific incident that brought the word into mainstream use. Did Putin use it in any of his speeches about the war that the libs did huge campaigns about because they didn't want anyone to learn too much about the conflict and didn't like that he was giving a thorough background of events leading up to it?
Putin talked about revisionism recently in the speech he made below the Stalin bust
Putin's use of it then? Was there one earlier in 2021 when this started trending upwards?
No idea, just mentioned the one thing I knew about. There is a good chance he has been complaining more about historical revisionism because of the Banderite cult doing exactly that, which is the first place I would look if you can't just look up "putin" "revisionism" viably.
I want to see a chart like that for Reddit favorites like "vitriol" which blew up and was seemingly everywhere all at once.
