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

If there's a series of violent photos, surely you could provide a link to it?

No? You can't? Hmm, I wonder why that is. made-it-the-fuck-up

Cw: dead bodies

I mean I know the tank man photo itself is bullshit but what's the counterargument for stuff like 27 through 30 from this article. I didn't think anybody was contesting it happened just the narrative around the tank man photo.

Picture of guy getting the shit beat out of him while students hold his arms

A captured tank driver is helped to safety by students as the crowd beats him, on June 4, 1989, in Tiananmen Square.

Haha, thanks, Atlantic

There's definitely more gruesome photos than what's in there. I noticed they didn't include any of the soldiers burnt to death.

29. The driver of an armored personnel carrier that rammed through student lines, injuring many, lies dead after being beaten by students who set his vehicle on fire during an army attack on Tiananmen Square, on June 4, 1989.

This isn't helping their case.
