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 chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

Do these idiots literally just ignore the nazi symbols used constantly by the Ukraine military or something?

Depending on their mood or the point they're trying to argue against, those symbols can be

  • Totally different from Nazi symbols, they're ancient runes (that are not from Ukraine, but ah well nevertheless)
  • Definitely Nazi symbols, but only for the purpose of "trolling" the Russians who lost millions to the Nazis (which includes the Ukrainians lost, but a lot of those were undesirables so ah well nevertheless)
  • One or two bad apples, what are they going to do ban using Nazi symbols in their military? (which other western militaries do, but ah well nevertheless)

I saw a lot of enlightened geopolitics experts on Twitter arguing that it was totally German and Scandinavian religious icons, nothing with Nazism pinky swear

An excuse I hear a lot lately is that they just use nazi iconography to own Russia so it's fine

They know absolutely nothing about Ukraine. In particular, they nothing about Ukraine's long history of using antisemitic violence to protect the rich.
