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
They weren't even liberal protestors. The vast, vast majority of students were there because they didn't like the Deng government's liberalization of the markets and wanted a return to communist economic policy. The CIA sponsored liberal democracy group was very small. And no one died in the square, all the students left more or less peacefully. The fighting was several blocks away between would be insurgents and PLA troops.
All the organizers live wealthy lives in Taiwan and the USA too. I think there is one that was stupid enough to move back to the maonland, was largely ignored, then was arrested for laundering money or something
