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

It's like those dumbass west taiwan memes. where they mean to lable China as the republic of China but don't know even the bare minimum about Taiwan and China to do so

The one who wandered in and called China “East Taiwan” was one of the funniest.

Truly incredible minds on the fediverse.

They actually think they're being clever when they say stuff like this. They think this is a "gotcha."

taiwan is more like a state of mind

I like to think of Taiwan as sitting at the intersection of art and technology

To paraphrase an infamous French statesman... Taiwan is a big island, inhabited by many Chinese.

I hate that they picked "Catradora_Stalinism" because I'd stan that theory so fucking hard but now I can't.

Maybe they think it should be called Chinese Taipei?

Taiwan is a liminal space
