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

It's actually sad to me how low Ho Chi Minh thought is.

Vietnam resisted US imperialism and won. They haven't been the target of such a focused propaganda campaign like DPRK or China. There's no reason to believe they've done anything wrong. No atrocity propaganda comes out of Vietnam. They mind their own fucking business and try to help their people.

And still, STILL it's not good enough for western leftists. It's fucking pathetic.

well the thing is the fact that they successfully fought the us means they MUST have done some great evil, right?

Clearly someone hasn't seen Rambo II
