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

Question: If "Tank Man" is censored in China, then why were American journalists allowed in an out of the country after photographing those events?

Question: If "Tank Man" is censored in China, why was he covered by state-run news on the day of the event?

Question: Why was Jeff Widener of the Associated Press given a Pulitzer Prize for a still photo of an event that was filmed? Could it possibly be because the still photo provides a more convenient implication than the actual events do? Is it possible that the United States wanted people to believe the PLA was brazenly running over random people with tanks that day?

Question: Why are we always shown photos of tank man in the west, but never the photos of the nude, lynched, burned corpses of PLA soldiers hung from their tank guns by US-backed reactionary coup plotters? Why are we never shown the photos of the failed coup-plotters joyriding around beijing in armored vehicles that they hijacked? If you think Jan 6th was scary, you should have seen what the US-backed coup plotters in China were doing.
