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

MODERATORS
He just can’t stop can he. I’m 69 replies deep with that loser in a different thread.
If you see people claiming to be Germans but they’re not posting from a .de instance you can be 100% they’re Nazis.
Ackshually, he's just Nazi-Adjacent, not an actual Nazi
Did you even read the article he posted which is just a link to a wikipedia hosted image of the hammer and sickle with the implication that it is a swastika?
Or any of the ones after that?
Obviously, he's just a normal, totally non-facist anti-communist
Market place of ideas
All they did was change their flag from one symbol widely used by neo-Nazis to another symbol widely used by neo-Nazis. Why do you tankies keep calling them neo-Nazis?!
Actually, it is the Nuosu word for "foot", as written in the Yi syllabary invented in 1974.
Yee.
I never met any anarchist that gives a shit about pedantry over what runes the nazis are using.
Met a lot of liberals like that though.
Yeah this guy is not an anarchist, he's a german green voter that will bring up shit like the teutonic order or germanic tribes and shit which either means he's an actual fash or an unscratched liberal that plays too many Paradox games.
Unless you're German, you have studied history, or you're a committed antifascist then if you know what a Wolfsangel is, you get all of my suspicion.
I honestly suspect this person is a fascist who is larping, although I haven't seen any of their other comments so weigh that accordingly but if you know what a Wolfsangel is then you almost certainly know what it represents and who used it so using your knowledge of it as a defence doesn't line up imo.
I'm pretty sad, I used to draw that symbol all the time on my papers and stuff as a kid and have always wondered if it was some kinda rune or something. Turns out its used by Nazis, neo and otherwise. 😮💨
Objectively, in my subjective opinion, it's a cool looking symbol. And so is the swastika. (Cancel me now!)
There's no minor coincidence that cool looking symbols that are simple enough to write/carve/etch became embedded in historical traditions and what you did as a kid is probably where a lot of runes and other symbols started from as well.
It's just a shame that fascists coopt this shit and ruin it for everyone. Take heart at the fact that we are fighting for a world where, some day long into the future, these symbols will be able to be used again (ignoring the fact that the swastika is commonplace in the east in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism for argument's sake lol) without there being anything besides a historical factoid that some nerd will drop to mention that these symbols were associated with this political phenomenon that was called "fascism", because fascists themselves will be little more than a historical footnote.
These people ffs, I had one argument with this Finnish liberal on how linked their country was with nazism, literally I show this guy swatiska's were lobbed by eric von rosen, a nazi politican, and this dick came out with a "nuh uh, its a Sanskrit". This guy its just another fascist.
Actually, Finland used the swastika not as a Nazi symbol at all, but in honour of the favourite emblem of a generous man who donated the airplanes that established the Finnish airforce in the 1930's!
Please do not ask questions about that man's nationality or political affiliation during that decade.
Radlibs thinking they’re anarchists. A tale as old as time.
Not sure you even qualify as a radlib anymore once you're defending Azov, regardless of what you call yourself.
How about literally joining Azov?
Due to the lack of a massive organization, the first [Ukrainian] anarchist and anti-fascist volunteers went to war individually as single fighters, military medics, and volunteers. They tried to form their own squad, but due to lack of knowledge and resources, this attempt was unsuccessful. Some people even joined the Azov battalion and the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists). The reasons were mundane: they joined the most accessible troops. Consequently, some people converted to right-wing politics.
😳
"It's not a swastika, bro. It's a black sun that's totally different, bro. Brrrrooooooooooo" 
azovites hiding in NYC after the war is over be like:
Lmao, that shit looks like how I used to write the roman letter Chi for the Chi square in my statistics class until a friend asked me why the fuck I had swastikas all over my homework.
But Chi is just an X
In statistics, when used on the chi square, chi is wrote like this
x is already overused all over the place, imagine writing x^2 to talk about the chi square.
I'm paraphrasing, but once I saw a post about how pedantry is the lowest form of discourse .
the swastika is a wolfsangel
the nazis drew what they intended to be a stylised wolfsangel it was the British who recognised it as an Indian symbol. Germany not having at that point much interaction with India and the Nazis weren't exactly curious about other cultures
Pedants get the wall
what did they mean by this?
