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 director of “Seven Years in Tibet,” Jean-Jacques Annaud, subsequently released a letter expressing slavish regret. He “solemnly declared” that he never supported Tibet independence and never had contact with the Dalai Lama. “Moreover,” he added, “becoming friends with him is out of the question.”

Buckled like a belt Respect to Richard Gere for sticking to his convictions. Sure no major studio will touch him with a 10 foot pole. Small price to pay for standing up for Tibet. Seriously someone he knows has read :parenti-hands: if he read God and His Demons he'd still be starring in blockbusters.

The same Tibet where the lamas had forbidden the education of women, kept serfs, and basically ran the entire nation as a religious fascist nightmare? That Tibet?

The same Tibet where the People's Liberation Army marched in, destroyed the temples, shot the monks, and started teaching women to read?
