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.
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

Have to admit, if these weren't fash I'd say some of these patches go hard (CW: Nazi shit)
It sucks that viking iconography looks sick
Sucks that vikings are a fash thing now
From my understanding, viking (as a verb) was when Norse fail-second-sons slaughtered, raped, looted, and enslaved coastal villages in order to establish their own fortune back home. That sucks.
Pretty much every ancient society had fail-son bands going around raiding shit, idk why the Norse get singled out for it any more than Gaels or Lakota or Scythians.
Is it because they did it to the British and the French who were literate enough to write about it and ended up becoming powerful enough for their historical beefs to matter?
Sure, but pop culture has confounded going viking with Norse culture at large.
True. But like with most ancient cultures, most were just fucking goat farmers or whatever. Their mythology is cool tho.
It bugs me that we only know the post-Christianization version of their religion. Hence Odin getting hung on a not-cross
I was really sad when I learned that the story about a crossdressing Thor pretending to marry a Jotun is possibly a Christian parody made to ridicule and insult their competition.
The history of religion is basically every religion accusing every other religion of gay orgies and eating babies
The same way Slavic anti-communists begged daddy Germany to come protec them from da evil commies, modern Slavic pagan Nazi nerds worship the gods of Germanic slavers.
