smug-explain The stupid tankies have failed to consider that I’ve created a nonfalsifiable scenario in my mind just now so actually it’s a bad thing when your industry is good smh. I know for years I’ve said it was a good thing to have strong industry and also have repeatedly explained how deindustrialization was bad and now I want to reindustrialize my own nation, so here’s a 15 minute video (NOT COPE!) on why good industry is bad but only for China.

Pathetic really is the word for it, part of what makes it exhausting to confront is how disheartening it is to have to lose respect for the analytical skills of people you like. Which isn't to say they're bad people or unworthy, it's just...it's like the feeling of trying to free a veal calf, seeing them stumble and fall on the first step, and realizing you're basically gonna have to carry them because they have been deliberately left unequipped for this journey.

Yeah it’s really disheartening to see intelligent, well intentioned people keep falling for the same shit over and over. Honestly if someone I was talking to revealed they’re super into healing crystals and such I’d still respect their intellectual capacity more than someone that buys into western propaganda hook line and sinker https://youtu.be/bLZW-kWr1F4

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
