Holy shit, this one reply you got is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read lmao

What you call a ‘Process of Material Reality’ could as easily be called G*d or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I had to log off, I was getting genuinely upset. It doesn't get better, they get even worse

On the other hand... tagline?

Here it is:

"When could we have voted for a 90% tax rate?"

Eisenhower's presidency did see some tax rates above 90%, but that figure only applied to the individual income taxes of top earners. For married people filing jointly in 1953, for example, any income above $200,000 was taxed at 90%, above $300,000 at 91%, and above $400,000 at 92%.

For someone who claims to know a lot about history, you sure are short on facts.

And if history is a 'physical process' post some pictures of it working. Not pictures of people doing things, because that would prove my point. A discrete physical embodiment of history, please.

If I'm being generous, I legitimately think they just have no clue what I am getting at by trying to baby step them through Historical Materislism, and can't fathom the idea that Great Man Theory is wrong.

They're so cooked I walked away, it was beyond medium-rare, beyond well-done, call that congratulations.

Idk but it's easy to fulfill. Here's a picture of one square meter in a world-historical hurricane

And if climate change is a 'physical process' post some pictures of it working. Not pictures of extreme weather events happening, because that would prove my point. A discrete physical embodiment of climate change, please.

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
