Love the libs posting the tank man photo in the replies. Yeah, that'll show the tyranny of the evil ceeceepee, horrific graphic video footage of a man where [checks notes] he is not killed, not injured, not threatened with being run over, nor arrested.

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

I can't find Eugene V Dabs' "Yankees vs Tankies" video where it compares the clip of the Chinese tank stopping in front of tank-man, with footage of some US soldiers in Iraq running a tank over some guy's car just because they're mad at him.
US soldiers in Iraq running a tank over some guy’s car just because they’re mad at him.
It's worse than that, they stopped this guy because he "stole" some wood, then they crush the car and the "stolen" wood with a fucking tank
The comment section in general is really a testament to how the accusation of "Whataboutism" is simply liberal projection. Even if China were this 1984 Torture Circus like propaganda paints it as, trying to deflect to it or Russia/Iran/etc at every criticism of Burgerland should logically disqualify you from using the term.
If the great firewall goes down, America will beg for it to go back up.
They are already beginning to plan one for the west. When it goes down theirs will be up in short order. That EARN-IT act is an escalation in the whole 'disinformation' censorship saga we have going on, a probable move to outright banning encryption. Once you do that and cut off VPNs the west can very effectively prevent the small amount of people who want to venture beyond its propaganda outlets from doing so without extreme effort as well as just straight up prevent Chinese/Russian/African/LatAm IPs from using social media platforms, etc in the name of "combating disinformation". At/before that point they of course purge non-western aligned media from social media entirely in the name of that combating disinformation. The west /HAS/ a soft 'firewall' for info but it's becoming harder and will only get more so as the decline accelerates and the reaction turns inwards.
