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

Are my people racist? No, it's the PRC that's making us racist. (hexbear.net)

Isn't it interesting that Taiwan Island's thin veneer if Librul Democracy peels away when it comes to accepting racial minorities that aren't White or Japanese? If the DPP claims that "Taiwanese" is a different identity from Chinese, then why can't Indian people be part of that Taiwanese identity? The PRC recognizes 55 ethnic minorities in China and protects their rights, why are "Taiwanese" people reluctant to even accept living alongside Indian people?

Also, what level of Hell are we at where a government ministry unironically posts "stop the cap"? If you're going to claim to be a real government, maybe don't make public statements that a high schooler would make.

They're still doing the milk tea alliance meme?

Milking it to the bone.

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

No fucking way the Taiwanese are still saying #milkteaalliance. Milk tea was invented by ethnic Mongols, who live in the Mainland and are completely absent from Taiwan. Like a bunch of racist white dudes forming a "#horchataalliance". Boba liberal government.

Finally, an admission that America and Israel are authoritarian regimes.

Frankly I’m all for Taiwan deciding to fuck off from China on the condition that they return all the palace treasures they stole

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

That would involve the Taiwan "government" to decide between "we are Taiwanese and not Chinese" and "we are the true Chinese", which they never will.

Using racial hatred to achieve one's aim is a tactic often employed by authoritarian regimes.

Famous democratic, progressive, and minority loving nation: India, especially under Modi

World's largest democracy.

And by "democracy", I mean "good country that aligns with Western interests". Remember when India refused to embargo Russian oil and there were suddenly all these indian human rights abuses on MSM?
