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
It would be so cool if the CPC had like, affiliate membership. Not that you could vote or anything, just that they let you be an affiliate member if you’re a commie. You get a little card that says you’re a CPC member, I’d do that in a heartbeat.
It’s actually quite difficult to join the CPC. You need recommendation letters and all that. They usually pull from high school and university students who excelled academically.
I have friends in the CPC and for me it’s totally not worth it, unless you like the perks of being a party member (networking/connections, better promotion opportunities in SOE etc.).
Rest assured, you will not be discussing socialist theories with your comrades. My friends told me the regular meeting is just bunch of people talking about their “personal development”, what challenges they are facing and how they encourage each other to solve it (mostly about jobs, finances, and other issues). This is in Shanghai by the way, so a fairly middle class demographic, it could be run quite differently in rural townships and villages though, I’m sure there’s more emphasis in solving local issues etc.
Yeah, speaking as an outsider my impression is that the CPC in Shanghai is full of folks who're liberals but pragmatically letting them into the CPC and being nerd failures is better than letting them turncoat for some liberal or western group.
I really hate the Shanghai libs!
When Zero Covid was still a thing, the Shanghai leadership wanted to emulate Western “targeted lockdown” instead of going full lockdown like everywhere else in the country, which ultimately brought Covid into China and the start of the failure to contain its spread.
Shenzhen and Shanghai both recorded the same number of cases in early 2022, but Shenzhen went full lockdown and very quickly curbed the spread. It was such a failure in Shanghai that they ultimately had to let Covid run loose in the entire country.
Theoretically being a member of your local communist party would have the same effect
Becomes an affiliate member. Gets purged. :C
Similar thing actually started the split between bolsheviks and mensheviks.
