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

ctrl+f brics

Brics don't know what they want. G7 are all neo liberal, capitalist, democracies. All basically on same page, same ideology.

Not sure Iran and Brazil have the same ideological and economic goals. Brics whole philosophy is 'lets make a club bigger than G7' and that's pretty much it. Just sad really

uh huh BRICS group totally doesn't have any common goals, those countries just signed up because they wanted to be in a group with more members than G7

Redditors are so skilled at generating the dumbest opinions imaginable

Yeah, it's not like the BRICS members would want anything crazy like fair trade using currencies not controlled by the imperial core. Fair trade where each side is actually there to benefit both sides instead of having to sell at pennies on the dollar so that their people don't starve tomorrow, even though it's selling out the next generation from building wealth while fat cats in the core just get fatter. Some days I really wish I could smack a liberal upside the head with some BRICS until they could see WTF is actually going on.

These same libs probably love the hunger games too lmao

Geopolitics is an infinite series of unrelated and disconnected vacuums. G7 is one entity over here, BRICS is another entity waaaay over there. It's like the earth and the moon, they can kinda see each other once in a while, but they have no effect on each other whatsoever.

Gonna be fun when they realise that it's a loophole away from being back to normal.

hilarious to see the users of reddit-logo suddenly glazing the PRC because of a flashy headline that they insulted State Department Designated Enemy #2. Loving the sweeping generalizations like:

"China is a nation of builders, Russia knows only how to destroy"

"The Chinese understand long term thinking unlike Putin"

"In China you get value in return for the money you pay as a bribe. In Russia it’s more like the corrupt cops shaking you down for protection"

r/worldnews glorifying the bribery of CeeCeePee officals was not something I expected to see today peltier-laugh
