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

I got the "pshaw what about tibet" response when I mentioned the ansarallah movement's statement of solidarity with all settler-colonized people on the planet
they got mad when i asked them what they thought "settler-colonialism" meant
they ended the conversation in anger when I brought up the slavery and torture that the Chinese stopped in Tibet
thats the kinda person who will look you dead in the eye and say "Colonialism can be good, look how bad the Aztecs were"

I was trying to read an article on decolonization from some Ivy league school and on like the second page there was a footnote about how not just the west does colonization but cHiNa tOo! I couldn't kee reading it after that lol
post it on dunktank?
"white people are the superior master aryan race because they're so much more enlightened and progressive than the savage inferior untermenschen"
White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable, but made apparent by how all of their other ideas orbit around it.
This is a great line, I'm totally going to steal it
By all means!
Libs are so shocked by how china can develop its own chips or russia can beat nato in ukraine. They genuinely believe the west to be masters of the universe and nothing can be done without them willing it so. Their hubris will hit them hard as their precious rules based order declines.
There's a direct line between the liberal supporting the acquisition of new colonies in 1870 and those people.
After all, the UK, France, Italy, Germany - all had elections back then, which were usually decided between a liberal and conservative party (and both did colonialism)
