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

I think a lot of people heard "China is doing a genocide" five years ago, took it as fact, and have simply baked it into their worldview ever since.
Libs and chuds do the same thing with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Hell, I've heard people spew the "Soviets allied with the Nazis" tripe without even knowing the name of the pact; it's just accepted as common knowledge.
They took it as fact because it justifies American exceptionalism. There's no critical thought around it because it helps spurn the narrative of the US being the world's greatest democracy. If you start thinking other countries have better rights and freedoms than the US, that narrative falls apart.
This same tactic has been used to demonize North Korea and Iraq. Liberals know this, which is why they continue using it against countries like China and Palestine.
Can confirm we just lost several members of our friend-group to the "but chYna" rhetoric. Libs gunna lib.
