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 [email protected]

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

I swear that educating people on the history of Korea since the war is one of the most effective ways to radicalize them. As soon as you understand why there even IS a North Korea and a South Korea, suddenly all these stories about K-dramas and unicorns are revealed to be the embarrassing fiction that they are.

Looking at the make-up of the two governments was big for me too; one led by freedom fighters and the other by Japanese collaborators. Guess which was which?

Where can I read some info about the DPRK, that isnt trying to blame them for everything wrong in the world at every sentence? I just read the wikipedia page and its full of blaming the north while forgetting the south puppet dictatorship
