the_dunk_tank
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.
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

This seems like its going to be a large struggle session on here...
I honestly don't care if someone calls me a lib online because of me saying "Lunar New Year" or tankie or ebil CCP shill for "Chinese New Year"....
I know this has a geopolitical context but it's like "Happy Holidays" vs "Merry X-Mas" to me again...
Edit: Honestly, could be worse.... it could be Taiwan New Year for all I know
That being said, if they INSIST on saying LUNAR New Year, if I say Chinese, we gonna have a problem...
the barista at starbucks wished me a bountiful LUNAR new year! wokeness has gone mad!
Come back when there’s rising anti-Christian sentiment. (And maybe skip the trivialization of casual Sinophobia next time)
Christians aren’t the subject of a racist moral panic. Chinese people are.
Well, I mean, unless there's footage of people attacking or using racial slurs at people for them calling it "Chinese New Year", because of ebil CCP sentiments, I don't think there's much fuss to be made here....
Is it ok for me to call Hannukah "generic winter holiday" as long as I don't assault anyone? It must also not be racist to force black students to change their hairstyle, as they didn't use the N word.
Uh no... but I could simply say happy holidays....
How is this related to Chinese New Year again? Did Chinese people in the U.S get forced to change their haircuts, even though that's part of the new year?
Totally hasn't been a spike of sinophobia well documented on hexbear. Jesus Christ go fuck yourself. My roommate literally assaulted me last chinese new year.
Ok I'll go fuck myself for my apathy.... I'm sorry for my ignorance but do I look like I'm talking in bad faith?
Yes.
Ok, I guess I have no business in discussing this...
