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

It’s even worse, it’s Austrian culture.
Austrians are just Germans pretending to be civilized.
As old joke goes: The most important historical success of Austria was to convince everyone that Hitler was German and Beethoven Austrian.
Yep funnily enough gunther is also from upper Austria
The crappy joke I came up with is: If the devil had to name his asshole he’d call it Vienna
*mozart but yeah
Mozart was Austrian though, born in Salzburg, even though Salzburg was only incorporated to Austria after his death, but it was always more tied to Austria than Germany.
True, but I think the fact that Salzburg was technically a different polity than the archduchy of Austria is what the saying refers to. I might be misremembering it and it might actually be Beethoven though
Well Mozart himself probably did consider himself German in broader and probably rather cultural sense, especially that he lived before the rise of modern idea of nation when that question was redefined to what we mean today. Not to mention Austria was always somewhat peculiar about it too.
If I had to generalise it I’d say we’re a weird mix of eastern europeans pretending to be Germans
So theyre just germans?
Victoria 3 rules: if you can form Germany, you're Germany.
Lol not beating the tiki torch whites accusations.
To be fair fackelzuege are a thing the left also does in this part of the world.
Oh, I'm never fair to Nazis.
this part of the world.
Russia?
Nah Edit: But honestly they might do them there as well.
WTF are they going to do? Throw bodies at Russian artillery right before winter?
Wrong way lads
Westoids have been like this about Russia for over a century and then wonder why Russia has never liked them
pictured here: defeated and humiliated NATO SS-Sonderkommando, leading the formal withdrawal from st. basils towards an abandoned quarry to be permanently demobilized.
I’ll never forgive tech bros for giving the cringiest idiots on the planet the tools to create cringe on a level never thought possible. Our eyes did not evolve for this, we were not meant to see this kind of cringe. We haven’t had time to adapt!
I was expecting them to light the nazi rags on fire ngl
Yeah same. Probably didn't want people to breath the Hitler fumes
Maybe it's apocryphal but in one of the episodes of Soviet Storm (Russian Great Patriotic War documentary series, you can find an English dub on YouTube) they claimed that they gave gloves to the men carrying the Nazi banners since they didn't want to touch the hitlerite rags lmao
No, it is correct, you can actually see it in photos.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Just need the white hoods to complete the picture

I love how this loser is a celebrity here.
He's just so unhinged that it becomes super funny.
It is, it's really fucking funny. Every post I see of him is bound to be a banger, and they always are.
Peak gunther moment
Intimidating your geopolitical opponent with awkward AI generated images of soldiers. Allow me to inarticulately mumble about Guy Debord.
Oh fuck, Gunther got his hands on the AI slop generators. Does this mean he will stop hand making balkanisation maps?
Finally we have arived at dark Gunther!
We were warned when boomers starting using facebook, but we didn't listen. We had a chance to ban them from the internet before it rots their brains. Now look at them, all using the AI slop generators.
This ain't it chief!!
