I was arguing with some idiot who thought the sole reason there are a lot more men than women in China is because parents are fucking murdering their female babies en masse because of the one child policy so that they can try again for sons. Some other moron chimes in to defend them, and I bring up as an example Cyprus and Armenia which have a similar divide, and I’m like, do you think they’re also murdering their female children because of a one child policy? AND MOTHERFUCKER IS LIKE “Well, judging from the stats, I’m guessing yes”. Like, Cyprus is in many regards extremely similar to Greece, practically the same country in some regards, and there are lots of Cypriots as well as Armenians here. It’s so fucking weird to see some idiot have such a braindead and offensive take about something so close to you. I can only imagine how it is for the people who actually live in “evil” countries the “west” actually hates.

I basically told him that and how stupid his take is, so he said some shit about how “uh well I don’t know about these countries specifically and I said I’m GUESSING which means I didn’t know for sure” and then some shit trying to gaslight me that I was actually the one talking about Cypriots murdering their babies.

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
