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
Most Taiwanese aren't this deluded. I spent a couple years in Taipei and views on China are more nuanced than the ones lurking Reddit and Twitter would have you believe.
99% of westerners still think Taiwan wants to take back the mainland while at the same time being independent lol
I don't think .ost of them think Taiwan wants the mainland back. In America, I think most of them don't even get that it is nominally a "government in exile". It's like they think it's still Formosa and the PRC is just terrorizing an indigenous population off of its coast.
ime this is correct, to most westerners Taiwan is just a generic people yearning to be free from China's yoke. they don't know or care to know about any of the history involved
