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

Siding with Nazis to own the Tankies

[–] regul@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's literally Nazis on both sides.

One side has criminalized nazis within their military ranks and the other side hasn't

Or did you miss all those Russian interrogation videos that shows russian troops strip searching POWs for sign of nazi tattoos

What am I saying of course you missed it, cause actaully engaging with reality or the evidence is toxic to liberals these days

Russia has a underground nazi problem, Ukraine is a nazi state, get the fuckin difference

So you'd say that you uncritically support a capitalist state?

Even if you assume this is just an interimperialist war, its basic Leninism for western communists to support and propagandize for the defeat of your own imperialist bloc in that war.

America's been losing wars for a long time and no socialist project has ever erupted from it.

Revolutionary defeatism doesn't seem to work very well.

Vietnam turned a majority of Americans against the military for a number of years and gave black radicals enough room to create the Black Panther Party and end legally sanctioned segregation.

Was that worth the lives of all the Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians who were killed, or the generations afterwards who died from unexploded ordinance or birth defects? I don't think that's such a clear cut "yes".

Point being that non-interventionism would have been preferable, which is the position I've been taking all along.
