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

I dont doubt that those numbers are real but I think the numbers come from such a obtuse angle that it makes them seem impressive.

The only thing America knows how to do is look at a bad situation, naturally occuring or not, and ask how can we profit from it? The decline of education, the debt traps and the desire to bring manufacturing back to the US is no coincidence. They want to slowly take the country back to the early 20th century. US economy and society is dying and the powers that be are responding with what can we do to make this swing in our favor.

The future is more of the population with shitty bullshit jobs with no progression or pay and lots of unemployment. They intend to control us that way by keeping a small base of people who can live decent lives with real jobs or atleast ones that pay. Theyll try to leverage our suffering into joining the military to keep the only thing that props up the US economy, imperialism. Basically what we have now, but more of it.
