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 [email protected]
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

Source missing from that post, but it's from the Pew Research Center.
I couldn't find any justification for their picking those countries (maybe they're the only countries that let the Pew Research Center establish any presence). And their methodology seems to suffer similar biases these kinds of wide opinion polls typically do (e.g. if you don't answer the phone or agree to talk to weird strangers you're not counted), which typically skew towards older conservatives who are sitting at home. Sample sizes also leave a lot to be desired.
Not to say this data is entirely inaccurate, but as with like 90% of these studies, they leave so much statistically uncertain that it's borderline meaningless.
Luna oi! (Vietnamese youtuber) did a video on a ""statistic"" by the Pew Research Center saying something like "95% of Vietnamese like capitalism!"
obviously misinformation, but she went ahead and translated the original Vietnamese question in English as something like "do you think the Doi Moi reforms were beneficial to Vietnam?". which like jfc of course they were lol
If it's the YouTuber I'm thinking of her content is great.
yea especially the documentaries she dubs to english
