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
Chauvanists like this will spell out China's economic system and reasoning for taking the path they took, and then immediately denounce them for doing exactly what they claim to want. And while they might claim to criticize their own government, they will then turn around and feed you lines that come straight from the state department![emoji not-immune-to-propaganda not-immune-to-propaganda](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/d4e1e533-d5bf-4a91-8701-77d409c8119c.png)
It might be because that person has no idea what words mean
They think that socialism = communism and social democracy = socialism
Also, there’s a reason it’s called critical support. Libs reserve nuanced, overall support but granular criticism for countries in the West, but outside of it? Oh no, then it’s a binary, you have to think they’re either evil or do nothing wrong, no in between.
people like this want to be aristocrats living in their manicured parks so they never have to see people toil. that's what socialism means to them.
First paragraph, what they're talking about is that they want a society where they get healthcare and education, but they don't mind too much if cops are still murdering Black people, there are some homeless people, and queer people are forced to fight for their rights regularly. Sorry, what can you do? The world isn't perfect!
The second paragraph is them seething about the world not being perfect in the way they specifically wish.
You have to understand: China is not white, so it is doing it wrong.
That first quote is incredible
