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

The former Director of the State Food and Drug Administration of the People's Republic of China Zheng Xiaoyu was executed in an execution van on July 10, 2007.

Sources a NYT article. Any guesses as to what the article actually says?

His father has no sympathy for Zheng Xiaoyu, the State Food and Drug Administration's former chief, executed on Tuesday.

Nothing about a van or any method of execution. Anything is true when you just lie about it I guess.

If you were to give NATOpedians the benefit of the doubt (big "if"), it's possible that the NYT originally did publish an unsubstantiated claim about the method of execution and later retracted it without apology or notice. It's part of the Westoid media's MO at this point, just look at the recent Hamas r*pe allegations.

Maybe but the page revision shows this reference was added in 2024, the person editing this had access to the current version. All of the links there are shit even the old ones are not any better like this its a story by some caricature named cracker who seems to have built an entire career of being the "Chinese correspondent", citing "No First Name" Zhang telling an outline of why China might need this. No facts or anything and the only other source is surprise surprise a literal San Francisco based NGO "working to free political prisoners" lol.

This is the standard of wikipedia.

Can you imagine the bastards at the American FDA getting executed?

Or anyone from Purdue Pharma for causing the opioid crisis.
