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

MODERATORS
Do liberals still remember that they're supposed to be outraged about that? The media hasn't spoken about it in a while, probably long enough for them to forget that Xinjiang exists.
That’s because not even the UN report will call it a genocide and they ran out of Zenz
Also, they're busy with Ukraine at the moment
They still bring it up relentlessly. Mostly if OUR politicians behave like crap. Baerbock called Xi a dictator recently and was reprimanded by Chinas foreign minister. Our Liberals didn't miss a beat before supporting Baerbock and bringing up the supposed genocide in Xinjiang.
Aussie liberals used to bring up the Rape of Nanking back when Japan was the boogeyman. They never let shit go.
I would bring that up too tbh, Nanking actually happened as reported and Japan didn't apologize until like 2013
Everyone forgot about the kids in cages too.
They remember when it's politically expedient.
Oh yep. I expect the cages to become political issue #2 again as soon as the republicans win the election. (Issue #1 of course is "orange man bad")
It sometimes comes up when you mention China but they seem to have memory holed it for the most part.
