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

quotes without citations are great, am I right folks
I tried looking for it. The first quote is getting a book by R. J. Overy called "The Dictators: Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia". The quote itself is not cited in the book but following it is a claim about thousands of jewish folks being arrested which is cited from a work called "The USSR, Zionism and Jews" (paraohrasing the name since I don't remember it exactly nor the author's) but I couldn't find it.
Edit: unsurprisingly the comment author cribbed the quote straight from a Wikipedia article about Soviet anti-Semitism.
There's nothing wrong with a Wikipedia article, but 'Night of the Murdered Poets'(which I assume OP sourced from?) stating that Solomon Mikhoels died personally under Stalin's orders w/o any other citations raises an alarm.
there's a lot wrong with most political Wikifedia articles, especially when it's related to communism
