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

heartbreaking

When Communists hold power, too often we still let libs get away with their petty obstructions and wrecking.

Many of the Tienanmen protesters were opposed to Deng's market reforms, and some wanted to return to the Cultural Revolution.

Libs: "I support you, brave freedom fighters!"

Maoists at Tiananmen Square: "Bring back beating up liberals in the streets!"

Libs: LOL, China tells the people nothing happened at Tiananmen Square.

"Well, what did happen at Tiananmen Square?"

Libs: Well, they killed people, I think? And there was something about tanks? A protest about... something?

You're underestimating the power libs have to invent shit as they go

Isn't that the guy that climbed on the tank, annoyed them for a few minutes, then got shooed away by bystanders?

People have some weird thought that this guy died that day. The video exists. https://youtu.be/qq8zFLIftGk

I remember the tank man photograph in school text books and posters and boomer memes. Finding out a video exists is like the political version of finding out Santa Clause isn't real.

If you go to some of the uploads of it on Youtube, the comments are filled with people experiencing the mandela effect like "Whaaaaaa?? I could have sworn I saw this decades ago and he died? Is this edited??"

Turns out that repeating a lie often enough really does make it true
