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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

doomjak Real cool how everyone has already decided that there will be a war with China, and that the ultimate causus belli doesn't matter and will be made up later

it's pretty fucked watching the consent being manufactured right in front of your eyes and you can scream your head off, it's just proceeding

And everyone is going along with it too.

Talk to any rando and find what they're opinion on China is. 99% of the time, it'll be some unhinged shit about how China is doing genocide and that Chinese people are all untrustworthy and dirty

I’m just watching everyone sleepwalk into it like there’s no other choice and it’s BAFFLING. There’s literally NO justification and yet everyone is talking about it. Imperial warmongerers should get the fucking wall. I already haven’t seen my family since covid and the idea of being stuck on the other side of a war to them is nightmarish

what's really depressing is that if the USA had a revolution went socialist tomorrow, it would still go to war with China, except that its cassus belli would be changed to "China is not socialist enough and also now the imperial core since America had a revolution" jokerfied

This is how it was with the Soviet Union as well. People acted like war with them was only a matter of time.
