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

MODERATORS
some will afford food, some will perish, and the market will stabilize. the invisible hand wins again
this is just the bald-face PR (ie. propaganda) of a razor-toothed sociopath to hand-waive rising food costs against stagnant wages (ie. falling real wages), not realizing they're sharpening the guillotines with every word.
Are they really saying “food is too expensive, so buy an even more expensive drug that keeps you from being hungry”?
It seems contradictory until the real position comes into focus: “give me more money. now.
”
Yep. Truly incredible. This is that capitalist "innovation" they talk about
"let them not eat cake"
Those drugs also cause serious health problems and death, from what I've read.
I don’t see how this could be interpreted in any way other than “the savage filthy ungrateful poors troubling us so will soon finally depart this mortal plane
”
“There is, and always has been, a widespread belief among the more comfortable classes that the poverty and suffering of the masses are due to their lack of industry, frugality, and intelligence. This belief, which at once soothes the sense of responsibility and flatters by its suggestion of superiority, is probably even more prevalent in countries like the United States, where all men are politically equal, and where, owing to the newness of society, the differentiation into classes has been of individuals rather than of families, than it is in older countries, where the lines of separation have been longer, and are more sharply, drawn."
Even liberals realize this stench anywhere
