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

This whole thread is hilarious though. So many fearful fools just parroting propaganda and doubling down when called on it.

Impostor syndrome is when you physically can't stop yourself from impersonating other people, or something.

I am very smart

He denied deleting it until I gave him a Screenshot and then he doubled down and said I have imposter syndrome because I made it in the west.

Japan taking over world culturally with manga/anime. One Piece and Dragon Ball is top in South America, France, etc. Soft power wins the hearts and minds of countries. China can't do that because the CCP won't allow it.

Tagline material.

I think China needs to place more of those giant parade dragons across US as soft power. Who tf doesn't love dragons?

Is anime still growing in popularity? I feel like way less people are into it now. Maybe I just aged out of it 🤔

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I'd say it's more mainstream. Like half of my coworkers' kids are apparently really into Demon Slayer.

Dudes the tantrum that dude had. Went back and edited all his comments to hide his bigotry, deleted dozens of them, and just started outright lying. Then he either blocked me or deleted all of them, I’m thinking blocked me.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They've deleted their entire account.

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmaaooo now that’s a tantrum.

Copy url, open it on private tab and you can see if the comments still exist.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little b***h? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Harvard’s linguistics school, and I've been involved in numerous secret trips to AES countries, and I have over 47 confirmed visits.

We need to exfiltrate that trapezoidalfractal poster, they seem alright.

The last paragraph in the OP article is really something:

The most crucial difference between China's balance-sheet recession and Japan's may be emotional. Throughout Japan's recovery, markets worked from a cooperative ideological mindset, believing free trade was good. As China begins its recovery, that cooperation has turned adversarial. Ultimately, that may mean the difference between China continuing its rise or staying stuck in a debt trap. In the end, technology may not save China if it doesn't have the right friends to buy it all.

Yes, it is the free market that is cooperative and state planning that is adversarial. Makes perfect sense.

Hmm yeah lemme just take a look at the Japanese economy during those 30 years: yamcha

Maybe China shouldn't do what they did?
