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

MODERATORS
 

Watch out folks, they've got ~~conference rooms~~ unofficial police stations here and they're ~~cyberbullying anticommunists on Zoom~~ threatening American citizens. We know because the US Justice Department and Meta told us so

Other posts by the network have referenced how “racism is an indelible shame on American democracy” and how the US committed “cultural genocide against the Indians,” according to a Meta report in August. Another post claimed that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is “riddled with scandals.”

This whole long-ass article is a work of art

Wild that they would just make stuff up like this. Just out of thin air.

"The DOJ complaint named 34 individual officers with China’s Ministry of Public Security and published photographs of them at computers,” Oooh, finally that smoking gun!

Is this a Nick Mullen bit?

There's a certain special irony in a guy who spent two years in jail for talking shit as a Chinese econ professor to turn around and try and rat out random American domestics for doing the same.

So China has teamed up with Israeli intelligence now?

Huh.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

This article could be written about Israel. But they're not a perceived threat.

The article itself is a great dunk, but the lemmy.world comments are even better.

Take this one:

Nono tankies aren’t Chinese operators, they’re CIA, tasked to discredit the left. That’s important because they’d be proud of the former but are enraged by the latter.

Its parent comment is great too, maybe tagline material

I can’t prove it, but my hunch is a lot of the obnoxious people I argue with online, who seem unable to see reason or resist devolving to insults and twisting my words, are actually foreign operatives tasked with depleting American morale

cultural genocide against the Indians

Xi is playing with kid gloves
