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

MODERATORS
liberals. they love that man more than their own children.
Heard some lib radio host glaze McCain just yesterday while drivingfor work, called him a war hero
I couldn't contain my anger so I yelled "HE WAS A WAR CRIMINAL! WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF HERO DROPS NAPALM ON INNOCENT CHILDREN?!?" 
Sort of a "call coming from inside the house" thing when the US is a terror state.
my lib mom got upset when Trump mocked the USS John McCain cause it was disrespectful to both the man and the troops
i just don't get libs
who the fuck is still thinking about john mccain fucking hell
Wasn't there some McCain faildaughter on some 
talk show that had the credentials of "MY FAAATHER" and whose conversations were varying versions of "MY FAAATHER?" I'm sure she's still at it somewhere.
yeah she was on the View as a token dumbass
She got her ass fired, didn't she? Didn't they know who HER FAAATHER was?! 
token dumbass
That means the rest of The View wasn't dumbasses, right? 
i'm not saying anyone on there is an intellectual heavyweight but the few clips i have seen from the view were basically all Mccain getting clowned on by basic liberals lol
So basically this, wine glasses included.

I remember his campaign tried to brand him as a 'maverick' when he was one of the biggest conservative dullards around
it's funny because it worked with the base, the problem was it was the base of the democrats instead lol
If the initial push into France fails I'm pretty sure the nazis are deeply fucked lmao. I suggest opening 13 more fronts, that always seems to work.
As for how to win the Iraq war, I would do a billion 9/11s. This is from Saddam's perspective, right?
The Nazis literally could not have ever won WW2 and anyone who argues against that is way too vested in learning about Nazi campaigns specifically
I think it's the closest you could get to historical determinism. The only way for the Nazis to win was for them to not be Nazis. They lost the war the moment they started it. Germany was doomed even if they never went to war because fascist economics will demand that they do. The whole thing was a fuck because it was fundamental to their ideology.
There's some scenarios where they could have maybe gotten a draw (like forming an alliance with the US and UK to invade the USSR), but it would have still left them worse off than...not being nazis.
forming an alliance with the US
Probably best case scenario for chuds. They're both ideologically aligned anyways, and there's a chance they figure out how to make a nuke before the Soviets
The same modern bazingas that believe billionaire vampires will personally invent miracle tech that'll undo the consequences of their own actions also tend to believe that nazi wunderwaffen was that close to turning everything around.
FACT: 99% of wonder weapon scientists quit right before finding the one that will sweep aside the slavic hordes
They won against France only because Allied generals thought it was a good idea to stick their neck into an obvious trap, and then German generals decided that they were absolute geniuses and could win whatever they want.
Yeah it turns out it really easy to win battles when you just surprise attack unmobilized neutral countries. When countries become mobilized and ally against you, horse carriages and bolt actions no longer cut it.
Tiger tanks were the ZYBERTRUKKKS of their time, with similar performance reliability. 
Dont know about that. Elon would never think to use a train to transport his vehicles with their own wheels. He's going to make a bigger cybertruck (cymi-truck) for you to use on the uberloop.
He did claim that it would be easy to make actual combat vehicles out of ZYBERTRUKKKs, so I suppose those fall more into the category of the many, many "wunderwaffen" grifts that were being floated around the Fuhererbunker near the end of the war.
You know, I'd probably pay money to watch cybertrucks drive into battle for America. It'd be hilarious when the transmission gives out and the whole thing just explodes when it gets hit by BBs from an airsoft rifle.

telling that all of these are reactionary daydreams and fantasies, and there's no progressive alternatives offered or discussed. Here are some of mine:
What if Lincoln had picked a radical abolitionist as his VP and after his assassination there was a massive anti-southern aristocracy crackdown to enforce reconstruction?
What if Kruschev didn't win the power struggle and instead Molotov did? What if the sino-soviet split never happened because Kruschev didn't get into power and immediately start shitting on and dismantling socialist achievement?
What if Stalin didn't stop at Berlin? What if the USSR discovered nukes before the west?
What if Lenin was not shot and didn't have health complications resulting from that?
What if the Spartacus Revolt was successful and the German Revolution joined with the USSR?
What if Napoleon defeated the British at Waterloo? What if Napoleon allied with the Haitians and revolutionaries of the new world instead of turning them into enemies? What if he supported a Haitian-African American take-over of the Louisiana territories?
What if temperatures stayed stable in the Paleocene, resulting in the dawn of civilization around paleolake megachad?
Everybody has a really pronounced jawline, nothing else changes.
What if Napoleon defeated the British at Waterloo?
He would be defeated in the next battle. He had already won at Ligny and Quatre Bras, and it didn't bring him a strategic victory, and neither would a victory at Waterloo.

Alt History: Limitless possibilities, always how the Nazis can win
But Boogie1488 said le epic science was happening in Mengele's torture playgrounds! 
Genre fiction writer here, 99% of genre fiction is fascist.
I learned that the hard way with my beta readers with my own work.
"Why is this so political? Can't it just be about a war with piloted robots?"
"The main character needs to have her naked body described in detail during a mandatory shower scene." (the character was a malnourished minor) 
"This is a butchering of the Ramayana. I am insulted by this sloppy portrayal of it." (the Ramayana was mentioned, yes, but it's a total fascist wet dream of a story and I deliberately dunked on its ideals in favor of the much more nuanced, thoughtful, and worthwhile Mahabharata)
Even the Mahabharata is like a thorough endorsement of Patriarchal power structures but it's what makes mythology and its fuzzy ironic (ambivalent?) relationship with its historical context so interesting
Even the Mahabharata is like a thorough endorsement of Patriarchal power structures
Yes, yes it is. Even after considering how ancient and grounded in patriarchal caste systems it always was, I'm nonetheless deeply impressed by how it plays out in the very long story. There's even a fairly-recent treatment written by a late 1800s writer that gives Draupadi a lot more agency and it was so good that some later theater treatments worked that addition in.
How is Ramayana a fascist story?
I don't mean the modern concept of corporatism merged with a perpetual war economy. I use the term loosely for the mythological roots of typical fascist ideology: the idea of purity, especially purity in a patriarchal sense where a woman held captive by "impure" enemy forces must painstakingly, exhaustively, and perhaps even dangerously prove her "purity" to the patriarchal power. The sheer disposability of the armies at Rama's disposal, Rama's own ubermensch-like portrayal, the seemingly unchallenged militaristic pagaentry and absolutism strokes of the story are also what I meant by that.
The current right wing political powers in India invoke the Ramayana fairly regularly, and even if they don't have the exact uniforms that were around in WW2, yeah I call that a fascist movement.

You are Hitler
I'd rather not
"You are Hitler..."
Inside of 
there are Hitler particles. They are everywhere there, but are especially concentrated in "what if nazis win and le science victory amirite" Boogie1488 takes. 
They're aware John McCain died in 2018 right?
Here's how Hitler can still win!
"Hear me out... what if Le Epic John McCain... was actually the Ghost of Kiev?" 
The soviet union would have to not exist for the nazis to win, I think. Even without allied forces drawing german war materials away from the eastern front, there's no way they coulda beat the red army, I'm pretty sure.
Also though the nazis were gonna invade places that would bring them into conflict with the allies anyway, lol lmao
