I don’t understand.

They are promising Soviet food and oil, the effort of uniting all German people into one nation, the end of Versailles, the end of debt, the end of hyper inflation, the protection of invasion from Britain and France, and still remaining independent from the Soviets.

And then 13 million Germans were like “give me that, but with war and death and mass killing please.”

Damn, people really can’t handle the word communism.

Because liberal elections are not actually democratic due to the outsized influence of media and wealth.

Also, a lot of Germans hated Jewish people.

What was Hindenburg's platform? Maybe he was going to be tough on China.

"yeah but those commies are a band of murderous thugs who tried to overthrow the government! Hitler and his national socialists would never... what's that? oh. Okay apparently the Nazis did that too and even more recently but at least they RESPECT GERMANY (and flatter my fragile megaloser ego by saying I'm a supermensch and literally the main character for the entirety of human history)." - average NSDAP voter

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
