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

They're actually doing the west taiwan bit? I thought that was just something people here said as a parody
Everything we make fun of either exists or comes into being because of our connection to the Lathe of Heaven
I used to see it all the time on leddit before I migrated to lemmygrad after the genzedong quarantine.
Love how fucking powerless that "dunk" is, since Taiwan don't and never will have the power to claim the mainland no matter what the US has to say about is. "They think that by changing the name of a thing, they are changing the thing itself" as the quote goes.
The US doesn't say anything about it, they say the opposite if anything. Even they're not the stupid.
They also don’t want to. Taking over the mainland is usually associated with the KMT which is ironically the PRC’s preferred party in power because they both want one china. What that looks like is TBD. But the libs in charge usually want Taiwan to be independent, consider it independent, or want to stay in this limbo for whatever reason
That is very much a liberal 'joke'
