For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
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 bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

I'm not trying to defend the menswear guy, but just because an ad on tiktok says that they are the factory that makes a high-end item, it isn't necessarily true. This is a pretty common tactic in counterfeiting.
Many high-end brands do not manufacture in China, and it has nothing to do with the quality but rather the volume that they're making. If you're a high end brand like Louis Vuitton, you're making such a small amount of actual product that it makes more sense to have the manufacturing be close to where you're selling it, rather than shipping it from China. Along with some sinophobia as well I'm sure.
