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

MODERATORS
Huh?
I wish these weirdos would elaborate. For my entertainment.
What PRECISE missteps did he make? Xi/China aren't perfect, so seriously, I would like them to say wtf they're talking about from approximately 2016-2020
Very likely the popular, although debunked and discounted by neoliberal economists, bullshit about "colonizing African" via fair loans. Unlike the IMF which definitely doesn't use financial power to coerce and manipulate with horribly destructive loans.
i cannot name any notable misstep china made, foreign policy wise, besides like my personal opinion that they should be more of an asshole to the west
I'm gonna guess they're talking about the protests in Hong Kong
Lmao.
Oh yeah those protests that were very organic and that we still talk about all the time...
You're probably right though. It's just hilarious they think anyone remembers that except politics freaks cough and... that's about it
Yeah I don't think they have any idea that it began because they couldn't extradite an admitted murderer back to Taiwan and were changing the books to make that possible. Incredible movement.
What’s so interesting is that I was a huge lib during those protests and was cheering on their fight against the cops
It wasn’t until they started calling for the UK to re-colonize them while calling China colonizers that I realized I was cheering on fucking idiots and pawns, and my newly found liberalism almost immediately crumbled, and COVID was the second plane that hit the remaining tower of liberalism shortly after and completely destroyed it
If Russia invaded Ukraine back in 2019-2020, it would’ve had the same effect on me because the western media was telling me the country was full of nazis and corruption only to be democratic all of a sudden
