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

Oh boy okay so I asked this in another life and the history behind Taiwan is kinda fucking mad and does arguably justify it being a part of China imo because it was previously and only isn't now cos of nationalists.
I'm sure someone more well read than me can fill in the blanks but my understand is as follows:
So yeah I dunno but that history informed the UN decision and only now that the west have realised they can really use this to benefit themselves have they started pushing the free Taiwan angle hard.
Take from that what you will as I learnt all this second hand.
One big thing to keep in mind though is that the DPP, the people who want to declare independence and claim that Taiwan isn't China, are all simps for Japanese colonialism.
Lmao no wonder the west loves them then
Thank you so much that offers some great jump off points for some reading. I'm definitely too uniformed to have an opinion here lol.
You're never too uninformed to ask questions though and that's what you are doing so that's good and based.
We all have to learn and I'm doing my best as well uwu
I feel that way a lot being in a community with them lol. They are all extremely helpful and ready to explain and give links to info. It helps us all learn when people ask questions.
to all the helpful comrades and all those asking good faith questions
Yeah this is really beautiful and enlightening, it's hard to deprogram yourself from this shit as you're spoon fed so much stuff from the get-go it's hard to reassess what's different forms of wester kompromat.
Absolutely. Its definitely a process unlearning western propoganda
That's such a fantastic attitude. I just want to commend you for being able to realise that.
Mostly correct but you got mixed up toward the end. The KMT, the old nationalist party, is actually the moderate and reasonable party now that wants a status quo to continue (One China policy but autonomy) and want to increase business relations with the mainland. The new Liberal party don’t want to just “move forward” they want to become a US military base and declare independence. They are western stooges and imperialists. The KMT is ironically the better option
Ah cool thank you
The best option is of course a slow and peaceful economic and diplomatic merge over time, but for this to happen America has to seriously fuck off and be dealt with because they do everything in their power to prevent that. They will install suicidal fascists with nukes before they allow it. For that reason, China might have to make a sudden and aggressive move and I will support them when/if they do.
Yeah when you speak to libs and suggest a solution to a problem its always "oh really and how's that supposed to work in the real world?"
and like 99% of the time it's literally just America stopping it. Every fucking time.
See: Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Brazil, Cuba.. the list goes on
That's one way of putting it, lmao
We keep it light here don't we comrades
If you ever want to know more, I know @robinn2@hexbear.net has compiled several great resources on the subject. He generally seems to know quite a lot about China.
Thank you comrade will do
That asshole will be shot first, put him on top of the purge list!
I hate melodic death metal.
Lmao what metal do you like?
System of a Down, Hed PE, Born of Osiris, Lamb of God are some picks from me
Hates melo death, posts metal core
Hey that's just me! Each to there own, I'm not a metal head if you didn't guess lol
👀 lmao its cool and lamb of god are sick, blood of the scribe is 🔥
Just to add on to this, I believe Taiwan wasnt really a part of China until it was conquered by the Qing dynasty in the late 17th century.
