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
In response to a comment explaining that neither ship was Chinese:
I am the main character of the universe and am so important that the Chinese government is personally targeting me.
If China had done it, they would've reacted the same way. Why are they such bullies in this scenario I made up in my head? Now I'm angry, which is also China's fault!
The absolute dressing on this is how many of these dipshits immediately thought it was Chinese, without realizing if that were the case the headline would be something akin to 'Three dead and dozens injured after Chinese vessel collides with Philippines fishing merchant after taking dangerous route'.
The media is already nearly as sinophobic as possible and it STILL isn't good enough for these baying hounds.
The original title of the article called the accident an attack, before they confirmed it was not a chinese boat.
Remember when something like 2 weeks ago Reuters published article slightly critical of Ukraine and was immediately called "Russian propaganda" and even literally "Lemmygrad news" on lemmy?
Nobody tell Redditors about Reddit Island's policies regarding the South China Sea.
The icing on this turd is that the US just started their war games with the Philippines in the South China Sea yesterday
Lol remember when the US fired their wunderwaffle HIMARS in their last round of exercises with the Philippines? They launched the missiles at a target hulk and all of them missed. They basically went "well, if that was a Chinese ship they'd be real scared."
Or the two naval bases there.
China made me shit my pants
Then Xi personally force fed it to me.
Bro still can’t accept the embarrassment after shooting a $1 million missile at a child’s weather balloon
"If I simply project even harder, we can imagine a made-up scenario where I am the reasonable one. Checkmate!"
"If the situation had been completely different the Chinese might have done something bad if they acted like how I, someone who clearly hates Chinese people, presume they would act!"
Makes you think.
At least the replies to that post roundly rejected it though, even though this post managed to be upvoted. Trying to stay as bloomer as possible lol.
This might be the most Reddit moment of all Reddit moments to ever Reddit moment.
"Ah well, nevertheless"
Really makes you think
