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 disproves some of the more extreme claims, but it still doesn't paint china in a positive light. There are reports of widespread family separation, torture, sexual assault and other nasty stuff
Yeah, as far is I’ve been able to verify, the worst going on there is comparable to shit that goes down at Rikers Island and similarly harsh US jails. Still fucked, though at least it could still reasonably be reined in without having to literally pull companies running them off the stock market
A close example is also how French police operate. Both in respect to Muslims in France, but also the less than lethal brutality used there being more akin to what appears to be happening more than anything close to extermination.
Yeah it's still large scale policing against a racial minority. Family separation - no kidding, they specifically put (potentially) radicalized people into vocational training boarding schools. Radicals have families too.
Torture - probably, even solitary confinement is torture. Sexual assault, probably too - it's prison and cops.
The point is that none of these things are genocide (cultural or otherwise), forced labour, or forced sterilization.
