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

So many people outing themselves as people who won't pull the fucking trigger if they can travel back in time to kill Hitler.

You guys need to vote way harder for Hindenburg or things are going to get real bad!

uh, can I borrow the keys to the time machine? I'll be right back after I provide indigenous Americans in circa 1490 with vaccines for European diseases and warnings about subsequent European crimes if their colonies are allowed to spread unchecked

You can have it after I give the Gauls, Celts, Scythians, and Germanic tribes the means to stop the Romans and avoid the spread of Christianity. I haven't thought it thru a lot, but I wanna see a world without the weird Roman view of women being the dominant one. Also wanna see what cool religions we could get if the pagan ones hadn't been squashed before they could be written down.
My main idea is guns and potatoes, but that's gonna have some repercussions I'm not fan of

I'd go back in time to replace Adam and Eve with Adam and Steve

Sounds gay (approving)

Hitler was a vegetarian artist. If history made him into a fascist leader it was inevitable. It would have been any other person there.

What you gotta go is give him a how to draw book so he gets into art school.

Tutoring young Hitler on perspective to establish global Communism

Hitler had wild Aryanist fantasies from a young age. He wasn't a wizard, but he was no angel either.

Yeah, but if you were to take a period appropriate luger to every child in that post war period that was a rascist little shit you would have to wipe out like, half of all of them at least.

Which is a good bit but the time paradox would be too great. You go kill all those kids to stop the holocaust then a German time traveler goes back in time to stop you stopping the holocaust and then it restarts the mess. You both bleed out in an unkown back ally in Munich. Baby Hitler is traumatized because what the fuck did he just see.

I'm not saying "shoot everyone" or even "shoot kid Hitler", I'm saying "he was a sussy baka from a young age" is all. What to do about it is a very different question.

This just poses the question: how far back to we have to go and who do we kill to change the material circumstances of germany during that time period. quick someone check in "The German Ideology" for clues!
