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

The post def had some supportive stuff in it but I was disgusted by the outpouring of anti-support.
These folks will say this kind of thing then be confused when they learn intellectuals were rounded up during the cultural revolution. It was basically these guys on the chopping block.
Funny thing is people look back at the cultural revolution and get a little squeamish... but it produced results that returned dividends over the long run. Sending a few million of these assholes on state mandated work tours of impoverished regions and neglected rural areas was able to salvage those of them capable of being humbled and learning some basic humanity. The ones who irredeemable tend to run or fight rather than learning how the other classes live and how to be a decent human being. The current president of China and his own father are an example, they were what the US cold warriors would hold up as heroic political exhiles or dissidents unfairly treated... that is they would have, if they hadn't come out the other side redder than red.
