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.

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

Theres people in there saying that China botched "its transition to capitalism" worse than Russia lol

Yea China's economy is fked which is why they're the biggest economy rn

They literally cannot say a single good thing about china to the extent they would rather deny reality lmao

They believe inframaterialism is real but also that's bad because it means the hiveminded asians can succeed despite not following the rules.

If we post enough china will collapse in 20 hours videos maybe it manifest itself into reality

China is always and forever the image from the 1980s where polluted slums are advertised as the legacy of Communism.

I can’t believe the communists destroyed China like that. I’m sure China before 1949 was a thriving industrial powerhouse where everyone ate caviar and drank champagne!

The entire society twirled around fancy dance stage sets like in the cult propaganda treats! so-true

And then a detached floating Marx head rode in on a tsunami and ate all the food at the behest of Mao Zedong, who invented famines in 1949.

It's basically that Don Bluth Anastasia movie. stalin-comical-spoon

I didn't see that but I did see a comment saying that it is bad that china has a low cost of living because it "distorts the labor market".

I am not going to subject myself to further brainworm exposure.
