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

Absolutely true, it’s astonishing to me but also not how few people know the US conducted a full scale genocide in the country, and set up a military dictatorship in the south that directly took over the implements of the Imperial Japanese occupation. At the very least people tend to shut up when I ask what they have to say about 2 million Koreans being killed and 80%+ of infrastructure being leveled in one sided bombing.
When I was in high school just over a decade ago they were still peddling the Korean War in canada at least as a “just war” that we should be proud of like WW1/2. Absolutely zero mention of the whole genocide thing, really disgusting stuff in hindsight. I knew I was morally in the right to skip Remembrance Day nonsense to drink and play Minecraft
Yep my Canadian history classes in the late 90s also conveniently excluded the Korean War genocide, said it was a just war and that almost none of the good guys died so such a success for Canada's military prowess.
