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

How dare Biden meet with a tyrant like Xi! He should stick to respectable world leaders like the Saudi royals.

If they are American citizens and cheering for CCP, isn’t that treason?

treason is when cheering

AIPAC of course is fine somehow

“It only counts as treason when it’s not a U.S. vassal state” — actually honest lib

Or all the folks who were weeping over the queen of England biting it

Lol the Chinese always have cheering children and citizens at the airport whenever superpower leaders arrive. As far as I know, even the most nationalistic commentators and politicians don’t give a shit. The American brainpan is truly rotten

I’m the treason enjoyer. Injure crowns 24/7

Joining a local subreddit is an inherently fascist activity

[–] c0mpost 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why would you say that? It seems to be an overarching generalization.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's probably a joke based on the reality that a lot of "local place" subreddits are mostly filled with frothing reactionaries

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I say it in a joking or shitposting tone but I also earnestly and literally believe it.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

and you're right to do so

petite bourgeois home owners are the definition of "who would go nazi" https://harpers.org/archive/1941/08/who-goes-nazi/

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

I say it because it's true. Wanting to discuss [subject hometown here] on the internet is an expression of a location-based chauvinism which is akin to fascism.

CCP has cells all over the place, especially on US college campuses. They made damn sure to activate them when the torch relay came through SF for the 2008 Olympics.

It is impossible for these people to fathom that a city with a large Chinese-descended population might have a lot of people in it who like China.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Impossible. Every immigrant in the US hates their home country, and only for ideological reasons. No other reason. Why else would they move here?

CCP has cells all over the place, especially on US college campuses.

China sends tens of thousands of student spies to get educated in the enemy country, maintain their cover for decades, and clap when Chinese officials arrive

The US’ entire CIA network is exposed and executed in China because they hate Chinese people so much that they don’t bother learning anything about the culture

What did he mean by this?
