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 “Lunar New Year” now. Of course, there are many lunar calendars with differing starts of the year but let’s just pave over that to Frankenstein together some generic nonspecific holiday because Gyna bad.

Those are different holidays.

What we “celebrate” in the west is Chinese new year. It has red envelopes and a rabbit in the zodiac, which means it’s not Vietnamese New Year or Malaysian New Year or Japanese New Year, which are distinct and different holidays

Friendly reminder to Liberals that flattening culture and being a “cultural melting pot” is genocide and white supremacy. Culture is defined by its distinctiveness and specificity, the more you broaden it and make it vague the more you destroy it.

The idea of “cultural melting pot” came out of a Fordist-type industrialist making his employees in the US do a play where they go into the pot in their indigenous and cultural outfits and all come out with suits and the same hair cut. This is the process you are attempting to apply to a Chinese holiday to remove it or it’s specific features and erase it
