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

My mum used to tell me all these borderline problematic fake confucius sayings when I was growing up.
Things like "Go to bed with an itchy bum, wake up with a smelly finger".
I was being taken round a Confucian temple in Yunnan in March and told some of them to our guide, who thought they were absolutely hilarious. Anyway, stupid anecdote.
My friend also got a kick out of those. Not a stupid story lol
Steal our research
Liberals don't understand how science works, do they?
it works like a 4x strategy game duh
Sneaky CCP agents stealing our science points
i can already imagine the digits popping into existence and falling/fading away " -1... -2... -1.. -3..."
Liberals worship of IP might cause their downfall faster then anything.
It is lol. Apparently restricting use of technology makes the progress towards newer better tech slower.
They really don't have a single clue how R&D works and the amount of collaboration("stealing" according to libshits) there are.
Liberals cannot comprehend anything that does not abide by the logic of capitalist property relations.
it's white supremacist brainworms, they cannot conceive of the untermensch having already surpassed them

Steal our research
Oh no they're gonna steal the secrets of the flavor-blasted dorito
The secret:
.
spoiler
You blast them with flavor
The Takis formula has been compromised, billions must lime.
CCP agents have infiltrated the US and stole the secret recipe for fortune cookies! Such powerful divination magic in the hands of China will spell the end of Western civilization
Pretty fucking funny considering Confucius is like the father of Conservatism. The OG "it was better before".
Seriously why Confucious? He invented reaction before there was anything to react to.
For China, stability above everything else.
To understand this, you need to understand the history of China, where periods of instability always leads to chaos. For example, the Chinese revolution in 1911 immediately led to the Warlord era where China was carved into multiple fiefdoms engaged in constant civil wars, which in turn created an opening for the Japanese to invade.
Once you understand this, you will understand why China always try to move things conservatively, even to its own detriment at times. You will understand why China preferred Tiananmen Square crackdown even in the face of international media.
For a country with a huge population of 1.4 billion people, losing control of the ability to provide stable livelihood to a billion people can very quickly give rise to disastrous consequences.
So it's more Confucious as an emblem of continuity than Confucious as a grouchy old misogynist?

I find it interesting that China has been trying to get rid of Confucius since the radical New Cultural Movement (e.g. Chen Duxiu’s “The New Youth” and the May Fourth Movement in the 1910s, blaming the trite conservatism of Confucianism for the failure of the Qing empire to modernize and subsequently allowing China to fall victim to colonial exploitation.
Late stage Mao also tried to get rid of Confucianism during the Cultural Revolution. But it the end Confucius always make a come back. He has stood the test of time for thousands of years.

Steal our research
CCP is actually the Chinese Confucius Party.
China is trying to steal our intellectual property by... educating our youth?
The same claim was made when China was sending students here, which was then also wrong, which pretty much leaves it pretty open that if it involves both china and academia in some way you start at "they're stealing our research" and work yourself backwards into whatever it actually is china is doing
Isn't this the same as what Israel has been doing with Birthright?
It's ok if other fascists do it
Birthright is more like a timeshare sales presentation - they’re trying to sell Jewish kids on moving there. This is more like “getting people exposed to other cultures is good, maybe Americans will be way less maniacal towards us if they just come over here and see how we’re all just people”.
yep, birthright is a 10 day tour of israel where they talk about arabs the way people talk about the romani back home. and then they tell you it's your duty to move to israel and serve in the IDF. and then they get angry at you when you go ????? at them.
this was my experience in 2004.
They gonna teach Americans the six arts: Rites, Music, Archery, Chariotry, Calligraphy, Mathematics
Oh no. They'll introduce American youth to the concept of filial piety. We're all fucked. An entire generation loyal to boomers
pretty sure they'd be filial to the younger side of gen Xers, millenials, and like the handful of zoomers that're parents since boomers are stepping well into the grave at this point.
i genuinely do not have a single higher goal as an academic than being able to conduct at least some of my research in china (well, aside from stopping climate change, but lets be real i have by far the best chance of doing that there anyway). xi please confucinize me 
"You'll teach my kids hard work and fillial piety over my cold dead body!"
Hardcore patriarchy also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Obediences_and_Four_Virtues
Christofascists would love Confucius if they actually bothered to read him. The rules it lays out are not hugely different to the rules the christian church laid out.
They'd hate this part but they also hate it in christianity and pretend "be good to others" and "feed the poor" doesn't exist.
Lmao these Fox fuckers really have 1950s brain, don't they?
Can i go?
The person on the right is giving me elementary school flashbacks with her gleeful liar's expression. She looks like a rich 10 year old in the middle of blackmailing the maid. That's the most I'll-tell-teacher ass face I've ever seen on an adult human being
CHINA ATTEMPTING TO RESURRECT STALIN AND HIS SPOON IN THEIR NEW CONFUCIAN CENTERS TO TAKE YOUR BURGERS. STOP THE INFLUENCE. NOW🚫🚫🚫
Hey, quick question: is there any reason that society in America is in a condition that would make living in China seem appealing? Seems like if it wasn't, then the kids wouldn't want to go. Would love to know your thoughts on this.
God I miss China. Haven’t gone back since before the pandemic, which was also before I became a communist.
those poor students are gonna have all their research sucked out by the cock milking machine, infecting them with confusionism
How do I sign my kid up?!?
Just imagine all the research they're going to steal from our 10-year-olds. Think of the damage they'll do with the top 5 fortnite strategies or all the hot tiktok dances!
Heaven forbid american students actually get an education in a country that isn't burning children's books for satanism.
