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
You can see that they did it with Tibetans before and that's been thrown to the wayside because it's been decades and Tibetans are now more numerous, more educated (in their own language and in Mandarin) and enjoy a higher standard of living than ever before.
They can only lie about this shit for a certain amount of time before the truth becomes insurmountable, but by that time they'll just move on to other bullshit.
Average life expectancy in Tibet has increased from 35 years in 1951 to 72 years in 2021.
Tibet is the first region in China to provide 15 years of publicly funded education, from kindergartens to senior high schools.
This is what liberals oppose.
But what about the rights of the heckin' wholesome lamas to skin their serfs for decorative purposes?
It's incredibly generous of you to think that libs dropped Tibet because of material reality not agreeing with their propaganda.
More realistically, Xinjiang is the new hot thing because the State Dept saw the Al Qaeda off-shoots there as a useful tool for sabotaging the Belt and Road initiative and booming PV industry in the region. There's only so much fake tears you can squeeze out of a person and there's no point in diluting the message.
Well, the Dalai Lama turning out to be a pedo probably didn't help the lib cause either.
