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

Big sandwich not fit in mouth

Looking at the meme, and then looking at the current state of railroad in USA:

Also the railroads SHOULD be a monopoly

A state monopoly.

Arguably a private monopoly would at least be centrally organised, competition is just such a shitty idea on massive unmovable infrastructure where only one vehicle at once can be on the same platform

No matter how much you compromise with liberals they will always hate you and call you a dirty commie lol

Breaking up monopolies is such a sisyphean task since new companies can always emerge and put the monopoly back together via regulatory capture. That's why it pisses me off when liberals suggest it as a policy panacea.

So much cringe when corporate PACs try to meme.

They're always like 5 years out of date.

So what's their argument? Railroads are Chad and Subway is soy because rail road blue collar workers?

Am I having a stroke? I read this meme to mean that Warren isn't doing nearly enough compared to historical anti-trust actions.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Unlikely from this account, which is probably necessary context. I can see how it reads that way in a vacuum though.

That's fair. My fault for not expecting the absolute worst out of something called "Project Liberal".
