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

Said it before, will say it again.
in 2000 America imported 6.38% of its total imports from China, in 2020 America imported 19.5% of its total imports from China, over a threefold increase. Setting aside the
question, if the US government (or their allies) actually cared about the treatment of Muslims in China (they don't, they've been bombing Muslim countries nonstop for 20 years), they would have to decouple the American economy from the Chinese economy as quickly as possible with a general boycott of Chinese goods in order to end indirect material support for the genocide they claim is happening. But we all know that's not gonna happen, lol.
I think that’s where a lot of this “China Man Bad” rhetoric stems from. If they’re extra loud about how bad China is, find one or two token Chinese companies to boycott, it’ll assuage the nagging feeling of cognitive dissonance that getting all that plastic shit from China completely undermines the idea that capitalism buttresses “free” society.
