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

yeah Rebecca Watson and Vaush made videos about the Naomi Wu story pretty fast, almost like it's part of their job (to post anti CCP propaganda)

Naomi wu doesn't even agree with their takes if you watch her videos. She seems genuinely very cool and her partner is Uighur and has an accepting family, conservative elements in Chinese (or any) society are a fuck

1. Wow I didn’t know there were governments in the world that didn’t exercise any authority.

2. I didn’t do any surface level research or ask any Chinese person about this to find out the thing I’m making a video about doesn’t actually exist, anyway let me Westsplain to you why this is popular with the hivemind orientals

4. Epic journalism, long live the empire, crush the global south, USA! USA!

5. BRUTALLY EXECUTES dissenter by FIRING THEM INTO THE SUN

Also the mma guy is the Chinese equivalent of a new atheist. Yes he is right. Also he is an asshole. Like all truly great fighters he has emotional problems. If I recall he was actually punished for trying to fight people out of the ring. Which is just bullying and not cool.

He’s literally also free so the government did a pretty bad job if he’s still running around lol
