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
"I hope this is not true forever but I can’t argue with you. My father is the artist, he turned 88 on Monday, so he has witnessed the rise and fall of most of the dictatorships of the 20th century. A neo-conservative of the 1960s, Andre believes that, while the CCP may not fall in his lifetime, that eventually it will crumble to the will of the people."
Years of indocrination to believe in the "democratic vanguard of light that is the west" and appealing to our human instinct of compassion with images like this is a powerful combination. Even NATOpedia correctly states deep down in the article that no one died in the square itself and what happened in general was hardly a massacre, unless you're willing to put the same label on so many things that happen it the west. But the huge majority of people won't do the research when they've already been convinced sentimentally.
