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

Who the fuck is talking about the US?

Don't play fucking dumb. All this media hyper-fixation and constant public discourse on the "apparent" evil of the "Cee Cee Pee Pee" is because China has geared up to be the US's main geopolitical and economic adversary in what is looking to be a period of increased global instability. So any time anyone brings up anything about how bad China is it comes with the clear implication of: "And this is why the morally upright Liberal Democracy of the US needs to remain a global hegemony!"

So pointing out that even if this crap about China is true the US doesn't have a fucking leg to stand on in terms of morality is completely valid, because why is any American concerning themselves with the splinter in the eye of a country they have no goddamn influence over when their own nation has a fucking redwood tree jutting out of their eye socket.

What are you talking about? No one here was defending the US.

If you can not grasp the concept of two thing being true at the same time I think we should end the discussion here.

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Two things can be true at once, but so far nobody has been able to cite any evidence besides "vibes" that the execution van thing is true. So why are you so concerned with this thing maybe happening in another country and not all the shit defiantly happening in your own?

My comment is not about if they are real or not, tbh I don’t give a fuck this will not be the reason why I think the CCP sucks ass.

I am not. As I explained here. This whole thread is just about why this would be a terrible idea (anywhere btw) and how people in this thread don't see the problems associated with a mobile execution unit.

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Then go talk about the other reasons why the CCP "sucks ass" rather than be a debate pervert about this bullshit

[–] Stitch0815@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nope because this is not why I came here.

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why DID you fucking come here?

[–] Stitch0815@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This whole thread is just about why this would be a terrible idea (anywhere btw) and how people in this thread don’t see the problems associated with a mobile execution unit.

Already explained here.

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Okay so you're a debate pervert then, gotya

[–] Stitch0815@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The way I see it you are the debate pervert. I never wanted to talk about Chinese politics in the first place but you keep bringing it up.

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I never wanted to talk about Chinese politics in the first place

Weird of you to show up here then

[–] Stitch0815@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is it? :D You are in a public community :D

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lots of places are public, doesn't mean people can't object when you show up and show your pasty ass.
