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

My mum used to tell me all these borderline problematic fake confucius sayings when I was growing up.
Things like "Go to bed with an itchy bum, wake up with a smelly finger".
I was being taken round a Confucian temple in Yunnan in March and told some of them to our guide, who thought they were absolutely hilarious. Anyway, stupid anecdote.
I kinda love that you went to a place of worship and cracked jokes about that religion and still killed it. That’s a level of charisma a lot of us will never attain.

My friend also got a kick out of those. Not a stupid story lol
Steal our research
Liberals don't understand how science works, do they?
Liberals worship of IP might cause their downfall faster then anything.
It is lol. Apparently restricting use of technology makes the progress towards newer better tech slower.
it works like a 4x strategy game duh
They really don't have a single clue how R&D works and the amount of collaboration("stealing" according to libshits) there are.
Liberals cannot comprehend anything that does not abide by the logic of capitalist property relations.
it's white supremacist brainworms, they cannot conceive of the untermensch having already surpassed them

Steal our research
Oh no they're gonna steal the secrets of the flavor-blasted dorito
The secret:

You blast them with flavor
The Takis formula has been compromised, billions must lime.
CCP agents have infiltrated the US and stole the secret recipe for fortune cookies! Such powerful divination magic in the hands of China will spell the end of Western civilization

CCP is actually the Chinese Confucius Party.
Pretty fucking funny considering Confucius is like the father of Conservatism. The OG "it was better before".
Seriously why Confucious? He invented reaction before there was anything to react to.
Steal our research
China is trying to steal our intellectual property by... educating our youth?
The same claim was made when China was sending students here, which was then also wrong, which pretty much leaves it pretty open that if it involves both china and academia in some way you start at "they're stealing our research" and work yourself backwards into whatever it actually is china is doing
Isn't this the same as what Israel has been doing with Birthright?
It's ok if other fascists do it
Birthright is more like a timeshare sales presentation - they’re trying to sell Jewish kids on moving there. This is more like “getting people exposed to other cultures is good, maybe Americans will be way less maniacal towards us if they just come over here and see how we’re all just people”.
yep, birthright is a 10 day tour of israel where they talk about arabs the way people talk about the romani back home. and then they tell you it's your duty to move to israel and serve in the IDF. and then they get angry at you when you go ????? at them.
this was my experience in 2004.

They gonna teach Americans the six arts: Rites, Music, Archery, Chariotry, Calligraphy, Mathematics
i genuinely do not have a single higher goal as an academic than being able to conduct at least some of my research in china (well, aside from stopping climate change, but lets be real i have by far the best chance of doing that there anyway). xi please confucinize me 
Oh no. They'll introduce American youth to the concept of filial piety. We're all fucked. An entire generation loyal to boomers

"You'll teach my kids hard work and fillial piety over my cold dead body!"
Hardcore patriarchy also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Obediences_and_Four_Virtues
Christofascists would love Confucius if they actually bothered to read him. The rules it lays out are not hugely different to the rules the christian church laid out.
They'd hate this part but they also hate it in christianity and pretend "be good to others" and "feed the poor" doesn't exist.
Mfers be like "Chyna has no soft power"
Lmao these Fox fuckers really have 1950s brain, don't they?
Can i go?
Oh my god that's based; lucky-assed kids
CHINA ATTEMPTING TO RESURRECT STALIN AND HIS SPOON IN THEIR NEW CONFUCIAN CENTERS TO TAKE YOUR BURGERS. STOP THE INFLUENCE. NOW🚫🚫🚫
The person on the right is giving me elementary school flashbacks with her gleeful liar's expression. She looks like a rich 10 year old in the middle of blackmailing the maid. That's the most I'll-tell-teacher ass face I've ever seen on an adult human being
Hey, quick question: is there any reason that society in America is in a condition that would make living in China seem appealing? Seems like if it wasn't, then the kids wouldn't want to go. Would love to know your thoughts on this.
God I miss China. Haven’t gone back since before the pandemic, which was also before I became a communist.
those poor students are gonna have all their research sucked out by the cock milking machine, infecting them with confusionism
Just imagine all the research they're going to steal from our 10-year-olds. Think of the damage they'll do with the top 5 fortnite strategies or all the hot tiktok dances!
How do I sign my kid up?!?
Based China creating new comrades
