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

Ironically, the USSR was one of i believe two nations in the entire world that did not have strict quotas on the number of Jewish refugees allowed to enter. While every other country in the west turned Jewish people away to die in the camps, the USSR took in something like 1 or 1.5 million Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis.

And after the war, when everyone knew much much the Jewish people of Europe had suffered, the US and UK balked at accepting Jewish refugees. But hey, uhhhh… how about you move to some land over here in the Middle East.

The creation of Israel was basically a voluntary Madagascar Plan (voluntary only on the part of the settlers, I mean).

Russia created an eastern jewish oblast, likely as part of a plan to populate the east. If that had became the Jewish state, the world might not be in this predicament.

Yeah. It never really took off. It was way way far away from anything. It did have a pretty cool Yiddish culture during it's heyday though. afaik there were two things going on - Folks didn't want to live on the far side of the eastern edge of the world, and I think a lot of Soviet Jewish people were very secular and not that excited about having a Jewish admin area.

Unironically, because women had income and the right to divorce, they reported more pleasure from sex in communist countries. Communists are just hotter.

Imagine - being able to approach sexuality without it being tied to your survival.
