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

Other weapons it is working on include “genetic drugs” — pharmaceuticals designed to modify the genetic and physiological makeup of people and seek to impact cognitive, emotional, and behavioral traits.

Source? A think tank said so.

What a grift

Wish I could get paid to make up bullshit China is doing

"Oh yeah, they're building a giant memorial to Mao that hypnotizes anyone who gazes upon it for longer than 5 seconds"

Gonna make a thinktank, as a bit.

What is a thinktank anyway? They're websites that call themselves thinktanks that "publish" papers they make the fuck up every now and then.

They're totally bullshit organisations invented for the purposes of creating deniability for the state that something came from a third party and not from themselves. Despite the fact that states are funding the thinktanks they're "independent".

That’s not fair. They’re also an important failson/daughter jobs programme

It's also a way to introduce ideas to the public with an air of credibility. News corpos can pick up the story and provide sources, without having to say made-it-the-fuck-up

Amounts appropriated pursuant to this authorization are authorized to remain available until expended and shall supplement, not supplant, amounts otherwise authorized to be appropriated to counter such influence.
