Bold of you to assume they even get it from documentaries. They watch 2 movies and just assume that’s how it was. Enemy at the Gates was very effective at convincing a legion of fuckwits that the Red Army only had 1 rifle for every 2 conscripts at Stalingrad and that they machinegunned their own soldiers as a lark.

I was already a Soviet-sympathetic Communist, I just thought that it was an act of desperation to hold the Nazis back

Hell, when they showed us that biopic on Stalin they probably assumed it would make us hate him

Instead we all thought he was cool, especially when he put his cigar out on that guy

Create post

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
