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
The mormons in Chihuaha (mexico) are loaded, they have these huge communities that produce every food product, grains/vegetables/fruit/meat/dairy you call it.
where the fuck do these people get all this money from
Mormon settlers killed or displaced indigenous people and then immediately created a monopoly on all the trade and industries in the land they settled. The Mormon church owns a 100+ billion (with a b) investment portfolio and they’re one of the largest land owners in the US
Sounds like the based tight knit religious community a lot of people on deprogram sub would argue for, basically communism! (/s for the first part, sadly likely not /s for the second)
afaik they do believe in communism in a sense, but they refuse to practice it until President Jesus Christ returns from space to become the CEO of church.
Church elder #1 calls Church elder #2.
"You don't know - do you? Turn on the news."
"What channel?"
"Any channel."
He turns on news. They are replaying the press conference for the nth time. "I, President Jesus Christ, have returned from space to become the CEO of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints effective immediately..."
"Oh, fffff— fiddlesticks.
"Fiddlesticks is right. We're fiddlesticks'd. I was about to buy that condo in Vail."
"How about me? The addition to my house is only one-third done."
"But I thought the money came from—"
"You know where the money came from."
"Oh, right. Do you think he's going to ask for an immediate audit?"
"No."
"No?"
"No. You're not thinking clearly at all. He already knows. Son of God. Hello? Anybody home."
"Oh my."
but they won't let black people join the church... only white rich racist communists get to wear the special underwear and own women moons
From their inception, they've lived in very interdependent communities with each other. I think chapo had an episode where Matt talked about it. They basically combine grindset with a circlejerk, making their communities wealthier.
Interesting model if it didn't have a racist space god at its core.
i think if you go far enough, it started as a settler project. these dudes speak german-dialect and are all white.
yet i do not know if they were violent in their origins, today they're peaceful coexisting.
Yeah, this is exactly what I mean. Mormons seem like they're already trying to establish an alternate society.
