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

I assume that the 222 replies to the last tweet are all some variation of "ratio".

The video is a dude interviewing a Japanese woman about whether or not she would welcome more diversity, to which she says "yes". All the replies are predictably "enjoy your foreign pedophile r*pists" which I think is strange because she never said anything about allowing more US soldiers into the country.

There is a point now which Japan is becoming more and more desperate to bring immigrants to save their economy compared to the US trying to exterminate their immigrants to "save" their economy.

The big Japanese corporations are desperate to bring in more people as the work force dries up and there's literally not enough construction workers or truck drivers or food service workers to keep things going. The politicians and their conservative voters are desperate to keep people out because of their xenophobia.

What you end up with are people brought over from places like Vietnam on "apprenticeships" put into overcrowded dorms, paid peanuts (even by Japanese standards) and then sent home as soon as their limited term in Japan ends with no pathway to residency.

Then, predictably, those exploited migrants need to work on the side or steal just to survive and all the conservatives point and squeel about how foreigners can't fit into Japanese society.
