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

CRACKDOWN, CRACKDOWN CRACKDOWN!

Crack down on deez nuts, lmao gottem.

Some gems from the comments:

This is a classic case of why centrally planned economies don't work. Political ideology takes precedence over efficient markets. It was destined to fail.

But... China's economy has not failed. Putting the cart a thousand miles before the horse.

It’s also why Putin is willing to throw an entire generation of Russians, including the convicts and addicts at Ukraine. Russia is dead for 40 years because he failed to fulfill his mob boss promise to Xi. China is now clearing farmland in Siberia because the typhoon floods last August and September wiped out the Chinese people’s food storage.

Wake up, babe, new BlueAnon conspiracy just dropped. hillgasm

Xi's just not into him or her; only Xi.

Found Elon's account. melon-musk

A lot of those, like "cracking down" on NEETs and the gaming industry, would benefit the economy if done successfully.

Liberal infighting... It's so much more boring than leftist infighting. What will happen to the NEETs when Xi presses the button?

might threaten against Xi's 3rd term

Oh he's just doing all these cool things because not doing it might be a threat to his 3rd term. Also Americans need to realize that not everybody follows the 2 term, 4 years per term limits.

Xi running for another term: evil authoritarian tankie dictator behaviour, no better than Hitler

Merkel being Chancellor of Germany for 15 years: cool and normal beacon of freedom and democracy

[–] SaniFlush@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't Xi Jinping about to hit the maximum age for politicians in China? This is his last term regardless.

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only thing that could threaten Xi’s next term is the obsolescence of the state after achieving full communism

Obligatory

When westerners did it angular-merkel was cool and good leader of democracy and freedom and western values and the forces of light against darkness and the garden vs the "jungle" therefore its only natural we keep electing the same person.

When China does it xi-lib-tears is just a straight up dictator.

crackdown on NEETs by giving people educations and restrictions on gaming to prevent addiction and abuse by companies

michael-laugh

These attacks on NEET culture will not be tolerated.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago

Comrade Xi is just mad that the third Crackdown game was terrible and is making his own.

Incidentally, I think the inhabitants of /r/China are way closer to 4chan 1488 Nazi types than libs. They don't even pretend to be non or anti-racist.

Crackdown on Chinese fintechs like Ant group(who might threaten against Xi's 3rd term)

UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON FINTECH!

Crackdown on for profit afterschool cram schools, tutoring, and education (Guise of helping the middle class citizen but actually locks them out of the little social mobility they have. Reality this mobility lock is seen as a stabilizing factor which helps Xi after he gets his 3rd term)

How to say "at what cost?" without saying "at what cost?".

Crackdown on gaming industry. Insisting full block M-F and 1hr max on weekends. (No fun allowed. No studying allowed. Only CCP school teachings. Afterschool is for CCP homework and restudying Xi JinPing thought)

Gamers: the most oppressed minority.

Crackdown on inflation (a threat to Xi's 3rd term) by with authoritarian pricing controls and market manipulation which causes unnecessary monetary losses

Reducing inflation by reducing costs of seldom bought high price goods while the cost of neccessities skyrockets 😍 🥰 💖

Reducing inflation by implementing price controls 🤮 😡 angery

Crackdown on foreign tech companies

Laughs in tick tock

So the weirdo you're quoting is angry that parents can't pay for private after school tutors for their kids and also their kids can't play videogames all day every day. But then the weirdo you're quoting says: "No fun allowed. No studying allowed. Only CCP school teachings. Afterschool is for CCP homework and restudying Xi JinPing thought". And I think that's a weird jump in logic, isn't it? "No fun allowed", "Afterschool is for CCP homework", but China is surely not banning hanging out with friends, which is one of the main sources of fun I enjoyed when I was a kid. It looks to me like Xi is mandating that kids touch some grass, not that they become little communist robots.

Videogames aren't the only source of fun I guess is what I'm saying.

Xi is mandating that kids touch some grass

maddened noooo we can't have that! They must consume endless slop produced by our big tech overlords!

[–] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Touching grass is free and bad for the economy

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

Capitalist economies never fail meanwhile. 1929, 2008 never happened and it was definitely not the Government that temporarily patched up the market failures.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Someone go in and ask whether they have 72 hours or 28 days before China collapses.

Or whether they're FINISHED for real this time.
