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

It’s “Lunar New Year” now. Of course, there are many lunar calendars with differing starts of the year but let’s just pave over that to Frankenstein together some generic nonspecific holiday because Gyna bad.

Liberal language of inclusiveness and cultural melting pots is white supremacist and genocidal. The melting pot is a play put on in company towns where all the indigenous and different cultures would wear outfits from their original culture, go through “the crucible” where “all ethnicity is melted away” and come out the other side as identical clean cut Americans in suits.

Flattening cultural differences and making different cultures into one big blob is destruction of culture and genocidal in nature. Especially when it’s aimed at Asians and Chinese in 2024 you should be extremely suspect of White Liberals and diaspora Asians who have internalized White Supremacy and sinophobia conflating all Asians and destroying their culture and de-chinafying all Chinese culture.

This is why we teach tolerance and respect and honoring of different cultures. You should be interested to learn of other cultures, there should be healthy and organic cultural exchange, but active efforts to homogenize various cultures into one should be rejected.
