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

You can just go to Xinjiang there's plenty of travel YouTubers who post videos from there

Ah but did you consider all of them are paid off by the SeeSeePee? :smuglord:

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

That just makes me want to go more, will they pay me too? joker-shopping

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

50 cent army! Wumao!

Wait they'll pay me to be nice about China? Waow...

I hate that if it weren't for your inclusion of the smuglord emoji and humorous spelling of CCP this could 100%, no exaggeration, pass as a real lib comment. I've seen that exact counterargument deployed on more than one occasion.

if my enemies aren't paid off or intrinsically evil I might have to consider their point of view

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

My enemies are all bots or workers at one of the thousands of KGB call centers

take away the emoji and add an @ in the username and it's the average federated user being completely serious

Not true! In order to keep plausible deniability, they make sure every visit is completely scripted front to back in order to hide the industrial scale cultural genocide. The mosques are all decorative and worshipers are highly trained actors

My sister-in-law just went there and would frequently send me gorgeous picture of it. There’s a famous highway you can drive down and experience all four seasons through it.

Didn't the U.N. already do this and found no evidence of genocide?

https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/08/1125932

Okay well they say human rights violations.But not genocide.

China also has a counter report

https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/countries/2022-08-31/ANNEX_A.pdf

I don't think there is a genocide going on. You just have to look at israel and see how much proof a genocide leaves behind.

I'm sure someone much smarter than me can explain how there is no genocide taking place in china better than I can.

Today 15 countries expressed serious concern...

Not quiteinternational-community-1international-community-2 but close enough.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Said it before, and I'll keep saying it ad nauseum everytime its brought up:

Even if we accept for the sake of argument there's a genocide in Xinjiang of the Uyghurs, I am an American living in America and therefore I (and any serious person in similar conditions) am more pressingly concerned with the currently ongoing genocide my own government is funding and assisting in.

Anyone out there still moralizing and grandstanding about the uyghurs in the year 2024 is only interested in how they can be used as a political prop.

It's Hitler building a Holdomore museum

If the stripes and crosses are saying something, it's pretty safe to discard their opinions

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah you sure do care about human rights violations

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 weeks ago

yeonmi-park And in bad country that's currently aiding in the genocide of Muslims they condemn their enemy country for genociding made up Muslims without a hint of irony.

Oh god that flag line up is like the who's who of the Axis of Evil.

Iirc, the UN already did and the USA ignored the report.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Hasn't China allowed UN inspections multiple times?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago

They haven’t gotten the talk what they need to find that time.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago

They have had independent investigators from over 100 countries. I don't know if things have changed, but last time neither the US nor any EU member had accepted an invitation, despite being given one several times

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 weeks ago

Hey look, it's a list of countries that support the genocide in Gaza.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago

When does China get to have the same for American prisons?

Ah but you see the Australians stumbled into doing torture by accident, whereas China does it deliberately due to their Marxist-Torquemadist ideology!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

THEY HAVE INVITED YOU TO VISIT AND OBSERVE XINJIANG COUNTLESS TIMES YET YOU KEEP REJECTING THE INVITATIONS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I call on China to immediately open Tibet to all American human rights observers that are over 50, largely sedentary, and live around 300' or less above sea level. Make sure they are provided with finest penthouse accommodations in Lhasa apartments where the elevator works at least 50% of the time.
