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 was provided this video in a lib pit during a discussion on BRICS. It was somehow supposed to refute the legitimacy of the project and cast it in a negative light (I guess?)

Honestly the video seems like high-school level information-wise, and says very little other than (paraphrased) things like:

  • Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea cooperate

  • These four states which USA considers to be enemies are helping each other, for some nefarious reason

  • Countries which share a border can trade with each other

  • Other countries in Asia can also trade and cooperate with these four countries that we don't like, because they also share borders with them

It never explicitly says if or why this is all bad, per se, it just heavily implies it with the imagery of "blue team good red team bad", and depicting the leaders of these four evil countries as cartoon super-villains.

To be fair given how stupid US politics have been lately I think they deserve to lose their dominant status
