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

Right? There are legitimate critiques to be made of abuses and unjust treatment. Rounding up random people, detaining them for months, and making them sing bad nationalist songs? Wth? And there's important questions to ask about the counter terrorism actions by states, how public safety and stability should be weighed against the freedom of the people and their agency.

And since that's all complicated and nuanced and also draws western atrocities during the GWOT in to contrast with the PRC's counter-terrorism program in Xinjiang they have to scream Genocide and fervently never learn anything about the situation.
