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
What planet are these people inhabiting - they're both career criminals for one, it's not the age it's the collapsing your economy supporting Ukraine and pretending COVID isn't happening that's the problem.
The economic claims all just reveal that these people are making over $100k and living in a bubble. Even people doing reasonably well are noticing shit just keeps getting worse.
Fr, ranting about how shit the economy is and everything becoming more expensive is a pretty common conversation piece. Really gives away how out of touch these idiots are.
Because they assume that GDP, Stock Market and Job Creation are the only measure of how good the economy is.
Not more relevant statistics like: rent prices, food prices, wages
You can create millions of jobs but it doesn't matter a bit if those jobs can't afford a 1 bedroom apartment in any part of the country. Its the most clearest signal of how privileged the people on that subreddit in particular are.
Even stocks are not doing well, the S&P 500 is trading around the same level as it was 2.5 years ago.
Not like 80% of people under 35 will ever own a house anyway, but mortgage rates are at 8% right now. Even people making good cash would be paying 50+% of their income towards housing right now. What fucking planet are they from that that sounds like a healthy economy?
I love it when liberals accidentally stumble close to the point and then miss it entirely
Yes Trump is a career criminal, but that's because he's a capitalist. These dorks think he's some evil mastermind criminal who's plotting the destruction of America or some shit. They're so close to getting it but then stumble right at the end.
Biden giving the decapitated, post-neoliberal market reforms remains of Ukraine for his worthless son to exploit isn't a criminal career!
He sucks, they all suck, is this poster 12 years old
Unironically he might be the best president in my lifetime. He pulled out of a war, that's something. It says more about the state of the competition than his own competence though.
he started a war with russia. Trump also initiated the afghanistan withdrawal, Biden merely followed through on Trump's plan
Agreed, again it's not a sign that he was good really, it's just that the competition sucks so bad that he comes out looking alright by comparison.
He is literally protecting Israel as it does a genocide to start WW3. Possibly one of the worst presidents ever, worse than Trump by miles
I mean "US president letting Israel do a genocide" is par for the course since like the 70s. It's not like Donny boy or Obungler would be stopping it. But for sure it's horrific, dude sucks bad. I'm not going to bat for him.
what is happening right now is not par for the course.
