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 read one of the US-based Uyghur activists accounts of how she escaped China. Thought it was going to be a harrowing story of people smugglers and fake IDs but it turned out that the genocidal Chinese government just gave her a passport and she bought a plane ticket to the US.
Every genocide in history has created huge outflows of refugees trying to escape death. Xinjiang has a huge and relatively poorly patrolled border with several Islamic nations who would all be very sympathetic to their brothers and sisters getting murdered. Where are the mass refugee outflows? Nowhere.
also there are lots of uyghur people in China outside of Xinjiang, in pretty much every province and city. go to a normal city like Xi'an or Beijing and you'll see a hundred thousand uyghur people owning businesses and going to work and meeting up with friends and going to the mosque.
what a bunch of morons, they didn't know it's what she actually wanted all along
The funny thing about the Xinjiang genocide is that if you look at the quality of life and treatment of actual Uyghur people, you have to conclude that the genocide is either not happening or that the CPC is comically bad at it.
