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

Really weird (/s) how quickly it went from a couple of Chinese tourists asking politely not be filmed to the guy embracing the racist Winnie the Pooh stereotype and talking about how oppressed Hong Kong and Taiwan are.

The Winnie the Pooh thing is just such nonsense to me. Even if we're going to pretend that it's banned in China and if you post it you get sent to an organ harvesting factory how in the fuck is it a valid form of protest while safely in the west? They aren't even burning them in effigy. It's just like the "ARE YOU TRIGGERED YET?" bullshit but for turbolibs. The bears are probably made in China. Fucking idiots.

It's not even a good caricature. You're saying Xi Jinping is a very polite bear who eats honey and has lots of friends? Everyone loves Pooh, so the only comparison I can see is racist. They'd rather call Xi Jinping a bunch of slurs

Libs all think they're Charlie Chaplin dunking on Hitler, or like I don't know...Dante putting all his political enemies in hell

It's 100% a "u mad bro?" thing. They do it because they think it pisses Xi off.

A yellow skinned bear in a red shirt. It has some unfortunate vibes

The original meme that sparked all this was when someone compared a photo of Xi and Obama walking together with a photo of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger walking together

No points for guessing who was who

That one got iirc banned from Chinese social media but not Winnie the Pooh overall

if you post it you get sent to an organ harvesting factory

ASPI has exclusive photographic evidence of that organ harvesting factory:

It genuinely is the most brainwormed and pathetic thing. Worse than the 'ok' symbol thr right briefly popularized and then had the lubs freak out over.

In a way it is sort of fascinating though as a sort of expression of zombie politics. It's a sort of performative political act for in-group people and a countries where there is no real ideology in politics and they'll never actually any kind of tyranical oppression.

The bears are probably made in China.

I didn't even think of this. That's so fucking true! xi pointing at the screen
