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

It's so fucking evil how Western media ignores how and why "Taiwan" exists. They don't even call it by it's own name, the RoC. It's a deliberate framing to make it look like the PRC just wants to "invade" just because muh evil commies.

Aaaaaaaah I hate it.

It's especially funny the way all the geopolitics for toddlers explainers switch between "Taiwan is the most important part of all of this and linchpin of the first island chain" and "Look at all the claims on the South China Sea, the PRC's one is evil and greedy. Why didn't we draw Taiwan's claim on the map too? No reason."
