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

The frustrating part is how this works not just on westerns, but non-westerners too. Wasn’t that South African advocating for Palestine also throwing in China for Xinjiang?
It’s even more frustrating when people see what’s happening in Gaza and deny it’s genocide while claiming what’s going on in Xinjiang is.
South Africa is weird, you have extremes on both ends. You have people spouting the most insane pro capitalist, pro western and pro israel talking points. These are usually the wealthier people living somewhat comfortably. But you also have a lot of people who deeply understand the need to resist western hegemony and neo liberalism.
The problem is also the desperate conditions that the majority live in. You're so utterly exhausted, mentally and physically, at the end of the day that you don't have energy to think about other things.
