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

Thanks for the links comrade.

Can't speak Korean myself so I'm having to rely on the little robot in my phone to tell me what that website says.

Having a little read about though, and it's kinda what I expected - some of the articles on it seem to be arguing for a tighter surveillance state to root out communists and the rest are your typical unsourced defector stories.

Edit: whole lotta reposts of BBC articles.

Edit again: including a story eerily similar to the recent one.

Edit once more: and in contradiction, this.

1/5 of North Koreans have publicly stated they watch K-dramas a crime executable by death and/or hard labour.
