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

A North Korean monk at the Pohyon Buddhist Temple at Mt. Myohyang. Minority religion took me off guard in North Korea, an otherwise atheist nation with a mandatory belief system of the Juche ideology, the brainchild of President Kim Il-Sung himself. Buddhist temples in North Korea are cultural relics of the past and those who worship have approval. There was even a Russian Orthodox Church in Pyongyang and there’s a mosque in the diplomatic compound. Unauthorised religious activity, especially proselytising in North Korea carries harsh punishment and has been the catalyst behind most foreigner detainments.
From here and here. The captions are mostly :LIB:shittery, but the pictures are nice.
Those captions are pure :brainworms: . Imagine going somewhere and seeing it for your own eyes but instead of relaying the conversations you had with the people there and their point of view you just kept repeating the things you assumed were true before you went.
Lol
Double lol
on a picture of a cityscape that would look completely normal in most of the world
whoops when you forget that the scary orwellian building youre talking about is actually on the south korean side
