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

they think the Co-Prosperity Sphere was Japan’s attempt to stop Trans Satanic cults from spreading across the Pacific, and OOP loves Imperial Japan.

How much opium did you peddle as a Chinese Christian?

Fuck off debate pervert. I'm not interested in whatever half assed attempt at a comeback this is.

When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land. Desmond Tutu

Christianity's main purpose being the justification of western colonial control isn't exactly some obscure lore.

My guy, you want to come in here and pretend Christianity = Drug Dealer, then get offended when I ask the price of a dime bag?

Who is the debate bro?

Again, go back and revisit the Taiping Rebellion.

Christianity's main purpose is to coup with mortality.

What are the Opium wars? Christianity in that era was spread directly as a consequence of concessions from the Opium wars. The goal of Christian missionaries, as is all other places, is to pacify the local population, surpress local culture and justify continued colonial occupation, and in extreme cases slavery and extermination. In the lead up to the Boxer Rebellion Christian missionaries were granted extralegality and went so far as to go on serial rapes unpunished, and that's just the stuff natopedia admits to. This same religion continues to commit systemic abuse of children with its priests. This is the legacy of Christianity throughout the world and your half-assed attempts at comebacks won't change anything.

Again, go back and revisit the Taiping Rebellion.

Roberts refused to baptize him and later stated that Hong's followers were "bent on making their burlesque religious pretensions serve their political purpose"

Geez, I wonder why any version of Christianity that doesn't prostrate itself to the west (Taiping, Unification Church) is immediately labeled a cult and rejected from Christianity. Not Mormons though, Joseph Smith worshipers get to be Christian because Smith is white.
