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

There were zero examples of hate speech given.
David Hayter voice: After World War II, Lemmy was split into two- based and cringe. This marked the beginning of the era known as the Cold War.
Welp, time to set up a self-hosted instance so I have no curtains blocking what I want to see.

Lemmygrad stands on top! We are the spectre that haunts the fediverse! 
bound to happen eventually
I see the occasional good post on lemmy.world, there are anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist sentiments. It's frustrating that we're barred from chiming in, there are people who would listen.
I get whiplash commenting there
It's actually fucking wild. Sometimes lemmy.world is downright sane and other times it's like the Nazis had a coup when I wasn't watching.
Honestly surprised they hadn't done this already.
same lol
The funny thing about the iron curtain is that NATO started it and pretended in hindsight it was the USSR's idea. Churchill gave his "iron curtain" speech in 1946. Stalin replied to it.
Question: How do you appraise Mr. Churchill’s latest speech in the United States of America?
Answer: I appraise it as a dangerous act, calculated to sow the seeds of dissension among the Allied States and impede their collaboration.
Question: Can it be considered that Mr. Churchill’s speech is prejudicial to the cause of peace and security?
Answer: Yes, unquestionably. As a matter of fact, Mr. Churchill now takes the stand of the warmongers, and in this Mr. Churchill is not alone. He has friends not only in Britain but in the United States of America as well.
[. . .] later in the interview
Mr. Churchill would like Poland to be administered by Sosnkowski and Anders, Yugoslavia by Mikhailovich and Pavelich, Rumania by Prince Stirbey and Radescu, Hungary and Austria by some King of the House of Hapsburg, and so on. Mr. Churchill wants to assure us that these gentlemen from the Fascist backyard can ensure true democracy. Such is the “democracy” of Mr. Churchill.
NATO formed 6 years before the warsaw pact in 1949. They rejected the USSR joining NATO for collective security in 1954. They let West Germany in 1955 only 10 years after the holocaust, when chancellor Adenauer laughably declared that denazification was complete. The US was already couping countries for being too close to the USSR or trying to develop independently of the imperial core as early as 1953 (Mossadegh) and 1954 (Arbenz).
There you have it. Who is really responsible for the erection of the so-called "iron curtain?" Who is really responsible for the divisions that caused the cold war? 
not the USSR, and not stalin
no matter one's stance in any conflict
We love every bourgeois slave rapist equally! The working class's violence is evil though sorry but they deserve to be treated as cattle
