My favorite part is that the official, high minded liberal reason for why China isn’t Democratic is that people can’t directly vote for President.

Ah yes hmm very undemocratic.

I wonder if American citizens can vote directly for president 🤔

We have free speech in the US only because it isn’t a threat to power. The moment it does become a threat it will be immediately revoked.

With the ever increasing efficiency of surveillance they can just make it more difficult to say things they don’t like, or to find others who agree. We joke about :fedposting: but most of us probably really are on a list or 3.

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
