"The economy" is the ultimate citation. It is a magical oracle that cannot be questioned and can be used to justify any action. No supporting evidence necessary.

The budget must be balanced. The markets need to be sated. We must heal the economy. Your nan has to be sacrificed.

Hurting "the economy" is a privilege only the right can have.

Brexit? Yeah it was bad for the economy...but you see it was WORTH IT because we needed more good vibes! The libs weren't sufficiently owned!

Housing crisis? Yeah this hurts the economy....but muh property values! Are we really going to pick our kids having an enjoyable 20s over property values? It's worth it! (Although come to think of it, I'm not sure if this is an Americanism or something in general among the west but there seems to be this line of thought that goes 'ehh, the young people will pay for it! So let's do it!')

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
