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

But it's 3 German stick grenades, totally unrelated to 2 German stick grenades on the Dirlewanger brigade's emblem.

Slobba Ukulele, sweaty. zelensky-pain

i kind of thought they were fasces at first glance, not that that is any better lmao

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

Right? At first glance I thought it was something like that with arrows until I zoomed in.

"Hey SS, can I copy your home work?"

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 54 points 3 months ago

Zelensky released Tornado Battalion from jail and deputized them

There is the SS and then there is the Dirlewanger brigade ...which is even by SS standards the worst of the worst. According to the historian Timothy Snyder, "in all the theaters of the Second World War, few could compete in cruelty with Oskar Dirlewanger. He has also been described as the "most evil man in the SS" and as "perhaps the most sadistic of all commanders of World War II.

Yeah taking inspiration from this guy tells you all you need to know.

Considering these fellas are still alive Russia should take its mission of denazification more serious.

Didn't the Wehrmacht literally fight the Direlwanger brigade at one point with the Americans towards the end of the war?

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago

Nah, that was the battle of castle itter where American troops and surrendered Nazi soldiers fought together against the SS.

Timothy Snyder

disgost

Edit: for those unaware, Timothy Snyder is a big proponent of the double genocide theory - up there with Ann Applebaum and Robert Conquest - equivocates the Nazis and Soviets as being equally bad because of totalitarianism.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This time he's correct though, Dirlewanger was one of the worst. You can read some bits even in wiki about him and his brigade, i won't link because of intense CW's in entire article.

[–] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah. I'm just surprised to see Snyder be right about something for once. heartbreaking

Didn't some smug asshole show up recently and be a debate pervert about how there's totally no nazis in Ukraine's military? sus-soviet

Only a few hours ago, open season!

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

I didn't reply in that thread as far as I recall so I have no easy point of reference. I hope someone else can link you.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 36 points 3 months ago

You're the nazi for pointing out these nazis.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Are those Stielhandgranate in the emblem? Surely they're just very interested in WW1 weapons and not the other one! Nothing to do with an SS brigade :clueless:

[–] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Soon they're going to just have a picture of Hitler as their logo and western press will explain that it's complicated and in fact that's not Hitler but his non-evil twin that wasn't that bad ackhually.

[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

They’re just trolling Putin
