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

Can we share comics with the Dunk Tank? It's certainly worthy of it, doing that classic Liberal trope of glossing briefly over the things the Nazis were doing to quickly focus on the ebils of gommulism. I only briefly skimmed it, it was really wrong about a lot so I didn't bother reading more but the characterization of the Molotov-Ribbentop pact as Hitler and Stalin being a twee partnership only for Stalin to be suddenly shocked by Hitlers betrayal is awful.

Tried to find a pirate link to share but it's pretty new and graphic novels are kind of hard to find online

To be fair, after his significant blunder of underestimating how quickly the Nazis would attack, he turned out to be an excellent strategist in the war, and despite being inadequately prepared for the attack even the state they were in was significantly due to Stalin (not alone, but included) having years before the Pact identified Hitler and Nazism as a mortal threat that the Red Army needed to prepare for, and pursued various measures to that end.
