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

Australian grifter who was expelled from his uni for being a shithead, blamed china, then formed a political party with candidates running on an anti-ccp platform. Got like .02 pc of the vote in his electorate.

Edit: oh, his name is drew pavlou Edit: he was also apparently suspended not expelled. Edit: it says his name in the tweet so I didn't need to repeat ir here shrug

Thanks, I googled him but had no idea how an Australian is somehow going to be drafted in the Ukrainian forces unless it's just a joke

He also actively promoted Sinophobia by visiting a Confucius Institute wearing a hazmat suit during the height of COVID.

His stunts get decent coverage too, like his Where is Peng Shuai shtick at the AO last year (after she'd already posted an update from China and was seen at a domestic event).
