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
it's kind of amazing isn't it? person with zero political education: shit sucks and hasn't gotten much better.
people who've been completely bamboozled by bourgeois economics: well you see the quarterly annualized gdp growth and the fed's interest policy in fact mean we are already living in heaven, why can't anyone else see this?
people who've studied actual economics: shit sucks and hasn't gotten much better
in that thread these
s are actually circle jerking each other around unironically acting like poverty is not a concern for "average voters". they're such well-read "wonks" yet they so confidently exclude poor people completely from political consideration because they are "on average" less likely to vote. when anyone suggests anything to get non-voters on board (not genociding palestine, actually helping poor people), that's extremism that will turn the important swing voters against the democrats.
