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 wish he made some sort of condensed outline for this stuff. I'd imagine he'd have experience with that sort of teaching, given that he teaches high school.
I think he tries to be fair about the Chinese, he's given some legitimate criticisms of some of the deficiencies they've had in domestic policy over the years and how the current leadership trying to rectify that. He's doesn't speak of it as something revolutionary though, describing Xi's rural investment policies as the Great Society coming to China.
He's speaks positively about the Cubans as well.
I also think it's good that he reminds us to not be so pie in the sky about the developing multipolar geopolitical situation. Anything could come of it, depending on what we make of it. I appreciate his commentary on that.
