Cringe for using a quote from a childrens cartoon to describe a very real and nuanced reality

Double cringe for using the Ba Sing Se quote to describe China when the west is actively pretending COVID is over.

Everyone conveniently forgetting that a Spanish university found traces of covid in Spanish sewage samples from Feb 2019.

Saying that COVID must have started in Wuhan because of the virology lab makes about as much sense as saying that oncology labs cause cancer because so much cancer “starts” there.

The average white westoid male doesn’t even need CIA prompting to disregard facts that make the West look bad and PoC look good.

Reuters wrote

The new coronavirus was circulating in Italy in September 2019, a study by the National Cancer Institute (INT) of the Italian city of Milan shows, signaling that it might have spread beyond China earlier than thought.

[…]

The WHO said it would contact the paper’s authors “to discuss and arrange for further analyses of available samples and verification of the neutralization results”.

But I can’t find any follow-up articles about how that went

pretty obviously it was a natural virus and probably did originate from china as it’s from a family of viruses native to east asia and the initial large spread started in China. maybe there were traces of it in Europe before it spread big ut that doesn’t really mean anything

Nice try, China

China has a single Reddit account and they all get to share it

The first thing communists do when they take power is to merge all social media accounts into one. This is how we know that hexbear is still liberal

There was no war in Ba Sing Se. The war was in the rest of the Earth Kingdom hence the endless stream of refugees they snuck into the city with. Refugees were fleeing there because it was (for the moment) safe from the war. Checkmate, atheists :capybara-theorist:

Create post

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
