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 [email protected]
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

In fairness, I do think that the "one long war" thesis becomes less relevant when you step outside of Europe.
In Asia, WWII grew much more directly out of the second Sino-Japanese War, which is much more related to the long strand of Japanese imperialism towards mainland Asia than the outcome of WWI (though of course animosity at some of the outcomes of Versailles were relevant, I don't think they were such a defining factor). In the Middle East, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire meant that the region went from one of the primary belligerents to somewhat of a sideshow. I'm sure someone more well versed in Africa and South America could also point out some differences between the wars.
These dorks dont consider anything in the pacific part of the conflict until post pearl harbour
