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
founded 4 years ago
MODERATORS
any imperialist* state born after 1948 can’t be good… all they know is colonize, steal they land , genocide, be zionist , eat hot chip & lie
Modern China won its revolution in 1949.
Also Palau gained independence from the USA in 1962.
gonna be honest I didn't put that much thought into this shitpost. maybe "imperialist state" instead of just state would make it work better
Imperialist states are bad regardless of when they were born though.
Socialist Cuba was founded in the 50s
Okay maybe there's at least one exception.
Also the PRC was technically founded in 49, but you can sort of say that it was functionally founded in like 47, when the KMT started establishing their settler-colonial shoe factory on Formosa.
I would argue the PRC was a continuation of Chinese statehood making this whole point moot
The modern colony of Israel was founded in 1917
That's just when the British and French took the land from the Ottomans. It didn't formally become the ethnonationalist Zionist project until 1948.
Although there were ancient varying Kingdoms of Israel in the Bronze and Iron ages in the Levant, they have basically nothing in common with the current settler colony other than the name.
nah I feel like that started earlier too.
iirc the israeli colonial project started in the late 19th
Someone more knowledgeable feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that Israel wasn't formally a state until 1948.
the states born before then were doin that too!
