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

Xi Van Fleet is quite the name

Imagining a whole fleet of airbrushed vans with really intricate artwork, like the fancy wizards and such, except with communist propaganda poster art of Xi working for the people.

Lady, they won’t make an exception for you when they start the camp transports.

Dear god and all the archangels please make this happen.

is it because of taxes and rent control and minimum wage? are those the evil things that are going to turn america into Red China?

No it's the wokism and the wokists, which are the exact same as the cultural revolution.

I haven't read the book but this is probably something it says

As a child, I was a participant in dozens of struggle sessions, where large groups were made to scream at one person who had allegedly committed a crime like corruption. This is exactly what happens every day on Twitter, and only the Republicans can save us from it.

This is like those moments where foreign press interview Chinese migrants and they say things like, "Xi's become oppressive and it's hard on small businesses."

1.4 billion people living in China... "A survivors warning"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How politically illiterate do you have to be to actually think that.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

She's not stupid, she's a gusana with a grift.

Ok, but who will be the Mao of this new communist US? Joe Biden? He couldn't mandate backyard steel production if his life depended on it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

I would not bother trying to kill sparrows for Biden.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Boy could my dad smelt pig steel in the backyard

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

I already don't care about dying and living in the US is a fucking nightmare where everything is continuously getting worse. The idea of China coming through and somehow making things worse and more insane seems laughable. Like what could they possibly do? I already don't like being alive here.

The Maoist uprising against the small business tyrants was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of cheeseburgers amongst the precariat

a survivor's warning

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

That propaganda mightve worked 50 years ago 😂

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

That's a bangin' cover. I low-key wanna buy it when it's in a thrift store, hollow it out, and put Mao's little red book inside the cavity.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

This is ridiculous beyond all comprehension. But I wish this alternative reality to be true.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (8 children)

Why are there so many Chinese and Russian propaganda instances? I know it's free speech and all that, but it's a pain in the arse having to keep blocking them all.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

I don’t know how you manage not to drown in the shower

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

Just use Reddit bro. Your worldview will be safe there.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

The past 100 years the US has been in non-stop wars directly and countless of proxy wars trying to dictate the world order. Yet China and Russian propaganda is what you're worried about.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

If America can’t handle a few shitposts of criticism, was it ever really that powerful?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I have a bridge to sell you (no refunds)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Everything I disagree with is enemy propaganda. I am an intelligent, emotionally mature internet user.
