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

China and Russia overextended and on their back foot

This one is especially unhinged. Like, okay, Russia I could buy. But CHINA?! They're just going from win to win.

They're on the "China real estate collapse" run again.

It's amazing they are focusing on that becuase China defused the Evergrande bankruptcy extremely easily with few knock on effects. Like you see that and how the US completely fucked up the 2008 response despite having more resources, but still think China's the one that's about to collapse.

Also, if it were true, leaving the people of Russia and China in a position to be pillaged by the richest Americans is far from a good thing.

That's fuckin hilarious, I was gonna say almost the exact same words, lmao. Like even if that were true, why should I be happy about that? I do not think it's a good thing to make enemies out of nearly a quarter of the world's population, and US neoliberals are addicted to making enemies.

Because they think they're untouchable. They have nukes on everyone's doorstep and a populace stupid enough to cheer on using them. Americans need to be humbled in a big way, it's the only way to force the savages to stop lusting after blood.
