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

Except unlike China the USSR was actually consciously structured as a union of separate nations which were able to break apart with some degree of continuity. China has probably had a majority of its modern land mass since like 1000 AD. Outside of the East Turkestan movement and Tibet, are there even movements within China that would even want to form a separate nation?

I have a feeling that even the Tibet and East Turkestan separatist movements are exaggerated. Certainly they are no more serious than the Catalan independence movement that was quite brutally crushed with hardly a side note in the media. For the rest of China, I don't even think it is on the radar.

Must be nice, here the catalan movement is brought up whenerver it looks like the government might do something good for Catalonia.

"Hurr durr, our government is trying to get their support with bribes, grumble grumble" "Our government is trying to break Spain, grrr"

The government might FINALLY pardon and release some independentist leaders and the conservative press is being extremely annoying. (Just like the liberal press, which is "concerned").

I'm Canadian and it sounds roughly similar to Quebec. Everyone always complains that they are sort of bribed to stay in Canada. Really they just know how to do politics.
