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

I'll be the pedant. I think the list of countries that use "Democratic Republic of" are:

  • People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria
  • Democratic Republic of the Congo
  • Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste
  • Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia
  • Lao People’s Democratic Republic
  • Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
  • Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal
  • Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka

And even using the standards of the journal which speaks for British millionaires, these are kind of an even mix of democracies and non-democracies. So basically, this joke is just "North Korea sucks lol"
