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

There's really only two reasons why someone would hate communism:

  1. You have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo because you benefit from it (either from a class or race perspective)
  2. You're really fucking stupid and easily propagandized.
[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago

Addendum to 1, you might hate communism because you committed a lot of crimes that you know your victims will get justice for if communists take power.

  1. You are a misanthrope whose lack of faith in humanity makes you think hierarchies must be maintained lest the plebs ruin everything. Not that this is mutually exclusive at all, ofc.

There is some tragedy in how the crux of anticommunism (in particular for working class anticommunists) is the mindset that it will always be hammers-and-nails; hence the assumption that communists are either cynical, envious tyrants-in-waiting who don't mean a word they say or the gullible, feeble-minded fools who follow them.

if thinking Nazis are Bad makes you a Tankie then fire up the diesel engine and spin up the drive sprockets because i'm ready to shit in a plastic box in a confined space with 2 to 4 other sweaty men while delivering Uncle Moustache's bugs-stalin Red Justice pigmask-parodied to any bigot death cultist stupid enough to commit to the ideology of throwing infants onto bayonets 'to fight communism' and mass gassing people for having the wrong ethnicity or sexuality or ideas about workplace democracy

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 53 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wow, that sounds pretty violent. Have you tankies considered that violence makes you just as bad as the Nazis and the Soviets? berdly-smug

[–] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 39 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery it seems.

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 62 points 5 months ago (5 children)

I wish these people got tortured in Vietnam with cartoonishly painful methods like they lie about while jerking off and crying when talking in their documentaries. Incredible that they went through all of this and the thing that gives them PTSD is hippies spitting on them which never even happened. I’m done with the “poor wittle working class drafted soldier” bullshit excuse.

[–] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 47 points 5 months ago

I am 1,000,000% convinced that US vets in Vietnam did in fact experience extraordinary levels of PTSD - not from hippies spitting on them or even seeing their buddies get killed (happens in every war), but from all the crimes against humanity they committed against Vietnamese civilians.

Criticizing israel: nazism, antisemitic

Celebrating a literal uniformed Nazi, fighting for multiple fascist governments, and getting buried next to jewish soldiers: wholesome

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 38 points 5 months ago

I hope we can learn a way to bring this clown back from the dead so he can lose to the commies a fourth time

PSA: If you are posting links from corporate social media please remove all parts of the URL after the ?. Those are usually tracking identifiers.

Please help keep your comrades safe online.

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

On this note, sometimes dynamic/shortened links will not have the ‘?’ but resolve to a link that does when you visit the link. TikTok does this with shared links.

When sharing a link from social media share buttons, always paste the copied link into a browser to resolve the real URL, then trim out the tracking IDs as above.

All I see is a 3 time loser, is this guy supposed to be an idol?

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago

I wish everyone in that thread celebrating that fascist a very :barbara-pit:

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And sabaton have made a song about this guy, come on Sabaton..😞 I refuse to like this song (it's not even good), but come on guys, was it necessary to write this, at least in such a way?..

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This isn't even the only song they've made that celebrates Nazis. Can't stand Sabaton.

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

:/

I see what you say..

4years ago I discovered Sabaton and they were ~the only band I used to listen to. Having lyrics that arent the typical love stories made a difference. They seem to be a rather rare mix of history and power metal (I think I tend to be attracted by "angry/powerful" music.) Plus, it made me even more interested in history. In ~1-2years I had listened to ~all their discography and even went to their concert (my first one🙃). Ever since I found many other bands and artists from various genres (with also the help of a friend) so my Sabaton intake has decreased (currently trying to find communist/anarchist greek rap, I have found at least one ~good band).

But, ughh, they have some bad songs, in a bad way. Soldier of 3 armies, ghost division, back in control and some others would probably be better if they didnt make them (they also seem to be a bit too proud of their Swedish history which I find kinda alarming). I kiiiinda get their excitement over powerful people and machines (even if I ~don't get excited about it), but they could choose something else to sing about. They tend to be "neutral", but they are the ones who choose the topics for each song.

On the other hand, in bismark, rise of evil, final solution etc. I find them to paint the nazis negatively which keep me from saying that they are nazis. I also really like all their anti-war/religion songs.

I'd like to see a kinda "leftist" version of them. I have a feeling that either they lean to the right or they don't want to voice any leftist opinions because they might lose a big part of their audience (I happen to know people who listen to them a lot and some have very strong leftist and others have right wing (even neo-nazi..) opinions). They give me some mixed signals with the songs they produce.

I try to keep their good stuff, but I keep having mixed feelings (especially if I am to go to another concert of theirs).

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Sabaton actually only have one song and it's panzerkampf and they haven't released anything else

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't think Sabaton are Nazis, but making songs that glorify the Wehrmacht is bad even in a ”neutral” way. You don't gotta hand it to the Nazis under any circumstances.

I'm biased in that I dislike power metal in general, though.

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 8 points 4 months ago

is bad even in a ”neutral” way

Yes, they give attention to anything they choose to talk about, so without critisism it can promote it. Plus, it takes attention from anything else they don't talk about.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Every single Sabaton fan I knew only listened to Sabaton
