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

Proving extraordinary claims is good actually its just that "Uighers are being genocided" IS the extraordinary claim.
Sorry like I just got in an argument with a chud acquittance of mine who claimed that NGOs funded by rich people are funding mass immigration to the US, and when I asked for sources and a paper trail he said "1+1=2" and I pointed out how mathematicians would say you actually do have to prove 1+1=2 and he did a "LOL EXPERTS" thing.
So I don't think we should move into post-truthism.
Yes proving things is good actually. The bad is only demanding proof from 1 channel, in this case a scholarly source or it doesn't exist.
