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

what in the everloving fuck is the SAND Institute? they make it sound like a legitimate organization, but literally the only mentions I can find of it anywhere are either quoting the BBC article or the article itself

these fuckers can just outright make shit up and there's going to be some rube who'll buy it, zero questions asked

Unfortunately without the ability to understand Korean I can't Google any info on funding, but if I had to guess I would say NED or US state department.

lmao, I'm checking out the website with google translate and it's absolutely breaking my CIA meter, this shit looks like one of these fake websites the CIA used as fronts for spies in Iraq

look at their history section, lol

also, in the SAND activities page, there's a tab that goes into their vast social contribution:

I know that google translate does not give perfect results, but this is hilarious to me lol a completely empty shell of an organization that just sprang up out of seemingly nowhere and somehow has enough credibility to be taken seriously by the BBC, the supposed bastions of quality journalism... get the fuck outta here

What do you mean? They were selected as a "designated donation organization" in 2019, presumably by someone who knows their shit, they seem like real deal

This is 100% a CIA front website for spies and defectors in North Korea lol. Hide in plain site I guess. Wonder how long before some south Korean patriot accidentally leaks the list of agents while donating money

Apparently it's the "South and North Development Institution" but I can't find anything on it either
