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

Every comment could be it's own post lmfao

They're not concerned that they're Nazis, they're just concerned about the public perception and how SEEING the nazi-ism makes them uncomfortable (but to reiterate they DO support them)

Edit: I didn't realize Hexbear blocked images like that.

”Why do they keep putting the black sun on their flags?”

Because they're Nazis, it's not that hard to figure out.

We can't see these images they need to be posted as links or embedded into lemmy instead.

With that said I can guess the content. The thing that bothers me most about the way they want them to hide their nazism, as if it's just an aesthetic, is that none of them think about what these nazis are doing out there. I don't mean that in the sense of participating in the fighting but in the sense of the war crimes these nazis are definitely performing. None of them stop to think what kind of horrors the average open nazi in america would get up to given the wartime conditions where they can get away with it. These people are reaping unspeakable horrors upon the civilians they come across.

This is true, it's part of Ukrainian culture to display Nazi symbolism.

the pagan religion being nazi satanism and the history being from the 1930s but those are just details

This is literaly that homer meme again lol.

Captured [random village here], a huge day, a great victory!

Reality:

Thousands and thousands of dead, more mobilizations including women.

FInancial times: "The idea that Ukrainian forces, lacking any air cover, would storm through Russian lines was always going to be more of a Hollywood plotline than reality."

dozens of precious "indestructible" western tanks lost,

took so long it is now the rain season so they can't advance anymore

the target was supposed to be the land bridge to Crimea and cities like Melitopol.

Don't ask what is going on near and around Kupiansk for the last 2 months.

Don't ask what is the former name for Artemvosk lol.

A lot of the young people fighting/dying in Ukraine right now were radicalized through NED-funded child summer camps that were covered in the international press before 2022. Even the Guardian has a video on youtube about this still.

[–] panopticon@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago

Oh shit they were NED funded??? 💀

antiwoke tankies saying gender equality in land-mine casualties is bad!

It probably comes as no surprise that the 3rd Assault Brigade is an Azov spinoff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_Assault_Brigade_(Ukraine)

[–] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 72 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I saw some lib coping on twitter like “we control the village quick go grab the black sun! Come in guys the tankeez are gonna use this to say we’re nazis!” Lol

tankies will say just because you use flags designed by Himmler you're a Nazi. What if they just like him for his work as a chicken farmer

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

Not only would libs make this joke, they wouldn't wonder at all why these guys were carrying around that flag.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 69 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see a village behind that giant nazi symbol they're holding

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It looks like there were 5 houses in the village at some point which have been destroyed now.

How did they end up like this, anyhow? It's weird to think there isn't more animosity towards the guys who shot at their great-great-granddads or whatever.

  • USSR goes to shit and collapses
  • you give up your nukes
  • you allow shock doctrine into your country
  • you embrace capitalism, but you never rise up to your former soviet standards
  • your politicians blame the failures of capitalism on a country that no longer exists and ideology that is no longer a competition
  • capitalists in the west keep pushing anti communism into your country
  • communism and nazism is branded as the same thing
  • but then your politicians run out of heroes to praise now that communism evil
  • government gives surface level praise to Makhno because he fought both sides, but is also anarchist so they can’t praise him too much
  • last resort is to start praising Nazis because they wanted “Ukrainian independence”
