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

I'm sure if a Chinese relief ship showed up with supplies and rescue personnel America would have a normal one.

already happened with the earthquake in turkey. tons of headlines like "THEY'RE ONLY DOING THIS TO TIGHTEN THEIR GRIP"

also similar normal ones are had any time china bails a country out of IMF debt to the USA by giving them a 0% interest loan (and subsequently forgiving it)

"China has donated 500,000 doses of COVID vaccine and 2,000 ventilators to Africa. Here's why that's an inscrutable Fu Manchu conspiracy."

Doing something helpful instead of just being greedy assholes is just about a sit-back-and-enjoy tactic when it comes to undermining Burgerland.

ok but that's what I say when USA does aid.

America also turns a profit off aid. They stopped measuring that metric after Hudson pointed that out.
