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

Because that "throwing off the shackles" was moreso in actuality a mediated transition into neocolonial status with a western-friendly comprador class in charge. You see this in many "former colonies" that just so happen to be completely dominated by the "former colonizers". In Africa, up until very recently, France still controlled massive sections of the continent indirectly via economic and diplomatic coercion and france-friendly puppet dictators.
Not every "independence" is created equal. Some nations truly gain independence and forge their own path, such as Cuba and China, but even they still have to deal with a lot of contradictions dealing with economic ties to their former colonizers.
exactly this
....more imperialist than Imperial China? Hell, even the ROC held more territory than the PRC. Taiwan literally claims more land than the mainland currently occupies, such as the entirety of Mongolia.
Taiwan's claimed airspace also extends deep into mainland China so I'm not sure why anyone takes their claims seriously
spoiler
Ah yes, another lost
lemdro.id? more like westo.id
Any person who thinks China is imperialist either A) Doesn't know what imperialism is, B) Believes silly lies about China that are easily and readily proven false, or C) Are themselves the ones spreading those lies for ideological reasons.
