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
So, because they don't actually think clearly about anything and the ones that do always go down the race science shit, they just kinda' ad-hoc why some countries are doing better than others in an neverending, absurdly complex, always unfolding web of ideas and bits of facts.
Broadly I think they think countries are all running the same capitalist realist race and just happened to start at separate times with any underdevelopment being solely due to factors outside capitalism. So they think every country outside the imperial core is a "developing country" is just behind and chugging along, except for when it doesn't and then they start spewing nonsense.
