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

if i were them, i'd have the talks with blinken but ban all translators and insist on conducting the whole thing in mandarin
Insist you have the talks in one of the United States many ~~concentration camps~~ prisons that just so happen to house a disproportionate amount of minorities in well-documented conditions that have been critiqued by the UN several times, as they are worked to the bone ~~as free labour~~ paid 0.01 $ an hour. Or Guantanamo.
it'd be amazing if china sent a diplomatic mission to the US that did nothing but look at prisons, and complain that they werent allowed to inspect the CIA blacksites...
The UN kinda did something akin to that in '15 or '16. They sent someone to investigate the quality of life in the US. The guy who was in charge straight up said that "the US is always quick to point the finger at other countries, so we figured it was about time we looked in their backyard". The report itself is kinda what you'd expect: It concludes that by (almost) all measurements the US should have been classified as a "developing country" and it only didn't because it was the US. Kinda damning
