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

We are dealing with a towering intellect:

Kharakhterniks are a group of Ukrainian werewolf Cossacks. Enemies claimed that they simply turned into beasts on the battlefield, were impervious to bullets and impossible to kill.

next sentence:

Whether this is a truth or a legend is unknown

  1. The Ukrainian language comes from the oldest language in the world - Sanskrit, and still has many common words.

I know this person is literally being a Nazi and doing Holocaust denial, but other people have already pointed it out and I'm into linguistics, so I'm going to be enraged by this instead. Just what the fuck, like you were just talking about the ""Aryans"" and apparently you don't know about Proto-Indo-European??? And how is Sanskrit the oldest language in the world? If this had been some weird Hindu nationalist this would make more sense to me but they're not so what reason do you have to just say dumb shit like this. You could at least have made up some bullshit about how since the Proto-Indo-Europeans originally inhabited Ukraine, the Ukrainian language is closest to theirs and least tainted by foreign influence but nooo.

Proto-Indo-Europeans originally inhabited Ukraine

right? imagine going for 'ze aryans once graced us with their presence' when you could say 'we MADE ze aryans' completely insane anyways but if you're going to do fake nazi history at least do it well, smdh

At first, Hitler even tried not to destroy the Ukrainians, especially since the Ukrainians considered him a liberator, because the crimes of Russia were terrible, and Hitler had not yet committed any crimes.

So just open Holocaust denial WTF

Wild that libs read shit like this and see no problem with the "nationalists" they're supporting in Ukraine

Throwing in the Sanskrit thing as a bone to Hindutva fascists, that's just super

Also Aryans being descended from Ukrainians and Hindus

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

well that's actually classic Hitlerite lore, before the theory of proto-indo-european had quite matured they were calling it 'aryan' after (i think) the first recorded ethnonym from the vedas. they'd already (correctly) gotten to the point where they thought this language was the origin of all european & indo-iranian languages, but hadn't settled on the modern terminology and some details.

so crackpot Arthur de Gobineau enters onto the scene, and married this to racial theories roughly conforming to us-foreign-policy. all the places speaking indo-european languages that are less than snow white? white aryan paradises that got overwhelmed and outbred by swarthy subjects they'd gifted Aryan language and civilization to. all the still white places were good and the best were the most whitest (germans, scandinavians, in an oddly flattering move for a french racist) but the Danger---what happened to the Aryans in India and Iran, it still remained! the white aryan purity of europe must be protected! you can see why the Nazis liked this shit

actually correct and citationed telling of this here

The image at the end of their post has to be AI-generated too, right? Their commitment to the bit is kind of impressive

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

17 words to kill a linguist chefs-kiss

The ancestors of the Slavs were the Vikings, who founded their own race

stopping and then defeating the Golden Horde

burning ashes of Kiev say what? is "stopping and defeating" now defined by licking clean the boots of the great khan?

The legendary Amazons (warrior women) lived on the territory of Ukraine
