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 [email protected]
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
Libs: stop telling the rich to throw money away, it's not gonna solve everything.
Also libs: Ukraine aid asap, thoughts and prayers.
Rest of thread contains: billionaire apologia and dehumanization of the homeless
Fuck crapitalist realism
Eat the rich
But that doesn't matter because we all know they aren't going to do it.
That is, ultimately, why popular opposition to the modern economic infrastructure is so vital. It can't just be hoping Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel fix the problem on our behalf.
That's why people need to take things into their own hands. But no, that's so undemocratic, demanding, and barbaric!! Just vote!!
People conflate the term "Responsibility" with "Culpability," usually folding the latter into the former. The homeless guy under a bridge or people living at or below median wages aren't culpable for climate change or the cruelty of poverty, that's the rich. The rich are responsible given their power, but they're willfully cruel and fail that responsibility every single time. Thus as a matter of self-defense and an innate right to resist tyranny, the rest of us have a responsibility to ourselves and future generations to depose them and the system which gives them power. That still doesn't make us culpable for the current harms, though, that falls squarely on the rich alone.
