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

MODERATORS
Holy shit thats actually their name wtf I thought it was some weird catchphrase.
I still don't know if it's her full name or some weird hyphenated last name from marrying someone with the surname van Fleet, or even if Xi is her first or last name.
Truly bizzare.
Imagine marrying an entire zoomer Led Zeppelin tribute band
THE BOOK BEHIND THE VIRAL TUCKER CARLSON INTERVIEW
An inspiring survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China makes a passionate case that history is eerily repeating itself as the Woke Revolution spreads across America.
Xi Van Fleet lived through the horrors of the Chinese Cultural Revolution as a schoolgirl. Forced to the countryside with other young Chinese for re-education after high school, she later escaped communism and found freedom and new a life in America. But more than 30 years later, Xi disturbingly sees signs of the same Cultural Marxism that ravaged her birth country of China threatening to destroy the America she now calls home.
This is her dire warning to the United States.
Xi compellingly tells the story of two Cultural Revolutions: one driven by Mao during her childhood and the one unfolding in today’s America from the progressive left. With captivating personal stories and extensive historic research, Xi reveals the stunning similarities of these two revolutions. This fascinating book shows readers that both revolutions:
- Use Marxist tactics of division, indoctrination, deception, coercion, cancelation, subversion and violence.
- Aim to destroy the foundation of the traditional culture to replace it with Marxist ideologies.
- Weaponize youth, using them as their means to an end.
- Share the same goal of achieving absolute power at the expense of the people.
- Lead to the same ending: loss of freedom and totalitarian rule.
Readers will be captivated by the riveting personal story of a Chinese immigrant to the United States who overcame fear and reluctance to get involved in the movement to save America. Her political activism begins with a school board speech in 2021 against Critical Race Theory in Loudoun County, Virginia that unexpectedly goes viral and ignites national media attention. Xi now devotes her life to educating the American public on the shocking parallels between these two revolutions.
Because only when Americans understand what is really happening will they rise up and resist the communist takeover of America.

Letting her live was part of Mao's 30% bad.

So she survived the horrors of communism decades ago, but didn't speak out during…uhh, in the 80s when it would've been super lucrative in the US? I guess she regrets not getting into that grift and has now developed a new grift that clumsily tries to blend the Cultural Revolution with current day right-wing talking points.
One thing I can appreciate about gusanos is that many of the more famous ones will almost always hitch their ride on the right-wing culture war grift train, thus muddying the waters for ann actually effective anticommunist front. Liberals who might be sympathetic are turned off because they get equated with Vladimir Zedong Putin for believing in a marginal wealth tax, and “Talk to the people who suffered under communism!” Loses its ‘oomph’.
