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

MODERATORS
I vaguely remember this. Was the proposed law limited to in-person serious crimes like murder, or was it overly broad?
I can't imagine that many of the protesters were against prosecuting a murderer, but there are laws, and then there are laws.
It was an extradition treaty. It would allow them to extradite criminals to Taiwan and the mainland, and vice versa. The protests were overwhelmingly white collar, for obvious reasons.
Taiwan, not Thailand. I have the strangest hunch these protests wouldn't have been promoted as much if they couldn't make it a Taiwan-Hong Kong-Mainland internal struggle.
Ah right, don't post while tired comrades, I'll fix it
