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

” The Center for Strategic and International Studies CSIS lists major funding from defense contractors such as Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon Company and General Atomics.[35]

Significant funding has come from the governments of the United States, Japan, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates.[36]”

What's your point? State funding = facts and numbers are irrelevant?

Do you believe that the United States and its allies have a geopolitical agenda or not? Do you think they are incapable of lying to further that agenda? Are you familiar with the lead up to the Iraq War?

"Acktually tankie, Don't you realise I think US bad too?

Anyway, now to return to my angry rant against China where I uncritically parrot US state department sources."

Libs: "I love critical thinking and debate."

Leftists: "Okay, here's why your sources might be biased."

Libs: "Noooo, not critical of my wholesome weapons manufacturers and fascist governments like that!:
