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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

The classic Nazi talking point, I love this one!
Also the PRC was founded in 1949, I really don't understand how someone can bring up the Mongol Empire and link that to Mao Zedong.
Umm achually they identify as a socialist, they're just "anti-authoritarian". You tankies wouldn't understand
This one gets me the most.
"Tankie" literally just is a slur for socialists in modern parlance. It's basically just like calling someone "Anarkiddie"
It means fucking nothing and is used as a lazy reason for dissmissing one's views and goals.
"Tankie" and "authoritarianism" are two everclear signifiers that a person is talking out of their ass.
Edit: and whataboutism
lol yeah they hit lib bingo in that one post
also calling Mao's revolution "conquest" like bruh the only place that could even possibly apply to is Tibet and they were literally a SLAVE STATE. Fuck Tibet I'm glad they got liberated.
I really wish we had a :lib-bingo: emote. Might have to design one. What else would be on it tho?
There total lack of coherence is giving me a headache
Why do they think it matters who was killed? Is this some nationalism brain thing I am too anti-imperialism brained to understand?
They believe Intentional genocide is not as bad as a famine in your own country.
The inherent idea there being "Nations have an overriding moral duty to their own people, the rest are acceptable losses compared to one's own."
It's nationalistic and borderline fascist trash.
It’s just the exotic inscrutable Orientals bullshit
I am sorry, but the Asian brainpan has not meaningfully evolved in that timescale -
yeah the qing were manchu, incoherent
the Yuan under Kubilai can be interpretted in roughly modern china's shape, even a bit bigger, though the specific borders of china were laid out under the Qing & PRC.
the Qing scholars do like to point out that the Qing presented themselves to their varying ethnicities in different ways though, they very purposefully justified their rule in mongolia in chinggisid terms, trying to make themselves the worthy successor of mongol world empire. their campaigns against the dzunghar were about snuffing out a competing claim for the overlordship of the mongol groups on the steppe & in tibet
oh but yeah the OP was hilariously wrong, chinggis did not complete the conquest of china lol
Big Chinggis
It's all because we built that time machine to go forward in time to steal American 5G technology. We may have messed up a few historical details on the way back...
