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

the process of the people being killed also was pretty quick

Have this fucker never watch a movie about the holocaust in their life????

hitlers killings of non-aryans would have eventually resulted in racism ending

??????????

This person should be shoot dead

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah that's definitely one way to end racism, y'know ending all other races

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

They have such a baby-brained understanding of fascism. Like fascists will find another thing to discriminate against because they need that to justify their inability to function and a target to rally against

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Odds that this person is also really worried about the possibility that AI might kill everyone on Earth as a result of a misinterpretation of something like "decrease the murder rate?" I'd guess high.

making people work till theyre dead

citation needed for Stalin, but slave labor without regard for deaths was a documented part of the Nazi war machine

[–] JuneFall@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In German the phrase for it is "Vernichtung durch Arbeit" (destruction through work) and its enactment can be found in official Nazi documents. The whole post that OP links is Holocaust denial and ought to be punished.

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Stalin made people work until they were well into their mid-60s, which was a real tragedy given that life expectancy in pre-Soviet Russia was the early-30s. Dude forced you to work two full lifetimes! That's where Communism gets you.

You can't be racist if you've killed everyone else 🧠

White Supremacy isn't like racist against any particular race tho, just that like all the other races are not as good.

The Nazis ending racism by genociding every other race has got to be the most brain melting thing I've ever read. I gotta go lay down.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Nazism, like all forms of fascism, falls apart without an enemy. Even if they managed to kill all the Jews and Slavs, people would still be murdered on the suspicion of being Jews and Slavs for as long as Nazis are in power.

this is like probably what 30% of public high school students in the US learn in their history class from whatever athletics coach they get to teach this class.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago (4 children)

i used to think they were just skimping on paying a history teacher, but now I think they choose the coach because they're most likely to be reactionary

In all seriousness, at least back in the 90s we were still tip-toeing around the USSR in history classes because all the books were written in the 70s and 80s, when "The Fall of the Soviet Union" was a wet dream to the West rather than a presumed inevitability. We just kinda ended our history textbooks at WW2, for the most part. Everything after the 1940s was college level material that didn't get touched.

Far more often, what you'd get in history class was these revanchist takes on the American Revolution and the Civil War. These were the topics that history classes loved to fixate on. You'd spend a full semester dissecting a laundry list of Founding Fathers, all of whom got one flavor of hagiography or another. Then the Civil War got both-sides to the point where even die-hard wanna-be Confederates were rolling their eyes.

I will say that my AP class material was focused primarily on the Reconstruction and dawn of the Industrial Revolution, and it was surprisingly good. Didn't hurt that my senior level history teacher was a heavyweight in the Texas teacher's union and took all this shit fairly seriously. But she was still very reticent of the minefield labor politics was for a bunch of Houston suburbs failkids. So we got a lot of winks and nudges toward additional readings, without her ever coming out and ringing the "Union Strong" dinner bell.

CW: terrible Nazi shitsincerely hope this is just terrible sarcasm because Zyklon B takes at least 15 minutes to kill someone and the Nazis gauged when it was time to vent the room by the screams
Fuck Nazi apologia in all its forms

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Also the victims were being slowly starved up to that point over the course of months

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Even then, there's the psychological torture of knowing you're next and it's a matter of when. It was deliberately slow and cruel at every point because that's how hate works.

[–] GriffithDidNothingWrong@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And pryor to that were forced to labor in work camps

Now one negative aspect ofcourse was the extermination of people apart of the LGBT community

I can excuse genocidal anti Semitism, racism, and antiziganism, but I draw the line at genocidal homophobia

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not to mention disease. Typhus, among other things, ran rampant in the camps, and the only medical care was nazi torture doctors doing nazi torture for "medical science."

The work camps in Nazi Germany had the explicit goal, discussed in letters of the people running them, of bringing the interned to their "natural end", i.e. work them to death, and many people were indeed killed this way.

The increased whitewashing of nazis and vilification of the left these past couple of years is disturbing.

Say what you will about Hitler, but that man really put a new spin on sobriety when he gave up pork chops and stogies for a "Scarface"'s worth of methamphetamine.

Genociding all but one race is certainly ONE way to end racism I suppose

That's the neat part about fascist racism, it doesn't end there and never will.

They'd just keep at it until there's one guy left, who then looks in the mirror one day and blows his own brains out

The "white" race is completely made up though. Anyone can be part of or not part of it whenever it is convenient.

"The Nazis, famously, didn't work their slave labourers to the bone and people weren't dying in concentration camps from beatings, starvation, and the denial of medical care but instead the only deaths that occurred were quick and clean!!"

The very notion that you can "solve" racism via extermination is laughable and it has no material basis.

You'd have an easier job convincing me that the Nazi war machine was going to spool down voluntarily after a successful WWII effort and that this would establish a long-running era of peace globally than you would arguing that the Nazi extermination machine was going to be put into disuse by somehow fixing racism.
