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's a certain curiosity to watching liberals' understanding of China retreat to the frontiers.

They've given up on "Free Tibet". The Uighurs are falling down the memory hole. Now Taiwan is the extent of liberals' understanding of Chinese socio-economics. Gotta wonder how long before they're demanding China decolonize Singapore, Vietnam, and Japan.

People seem to have forgotten about the Hong Kong riots roughly 15 minutes after the NED money dried up and the consent manufacturers had to be transferred elsewhere.

Honestly I still don't know what those protests were even about? Were they even about democracy? Cus I recall their demands did nothing that would have changed the fact that Hong Kong is basically 5 banks in a trench coat.

a proposed bill for the extradition of criminals to taiwan, macau, and the mainland is what it started over
the case that started the bill was a hk couple who went on holiday to taiwan, then the boyfriend murdered the girlfriend
