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

After what China did to Japan 500 years ago ~~(under Mongol rule)~~ (not Mongol rule as a hexbearer pointed out actually), they have no right to condemn Japan for anything; also bacteria, viruses, what's the difference? Also it was an attack, not an epidemic that formed naturally like they have throughout history.

Some points:

  1. The Yuan dynasty was a Chinese dynasty. "It's not a Chinese dynasty because it was ruled by Mongols" is a talking point pushed by Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese ultranationalists as well as various Westerners.

  2. The invasion of Japan by the Yuan dynasty was closer to 700 years ago.

  3. The actual war that happened 500 years ago was when Japan invaded Korea in order to invade China. The Sino-Japanese Wars was just Japan attempting to use the same playbook they did half a millennia ago.

when you believe another country engineered a global pandemic to bring your country to its knees but you refuse to wear a mask to protect yourself from said pandemic

It's a superweapon engineered by the evil CCP, also it's no worse than the flu, also they released it as a biological attack against the West, also no I'm not going to get a vaccine. I definitely have a coherent ideological framework.

bacteriological

We went through and entire pandemic and fascist dipshits like this still don't know the difference between bacteria and viruses. It'll blow their mind when they learn about bacteriophages.

China still has hell to pay for it's treatment of political dissident Diaochan

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Chairman Mao had a somehow positive view on Cao Cao somehow, he thought if Cao Cao somehow won earlier he could end the Three Kingdom period before it even started and subsequently less people would die.

Yuan was Chinese.

However COVID-19 was not a 'bacteriological attack' it's a fucking virus moron
