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

always knew those dastardly elderly were faking age. Don't get me started on all these workshy "dead" people
once knew a guy who would say "I've broken every bone in my body who needs health and safety" he really was a fucking moron
on the general point
I agree about the problem but they might be true believers and just not realise the problem they are creating. It's entirely possible that they don't understand that these issues will happen because they don't actually think about what happens to poor people
Yeah, that's true. Some people might actually be deluded enough (Peter Thiel fuck his name not googling it types) to believe in some sort of anrchocapitalism hellscape. Into which they'd instantly become enslaved by some massive Bezos Amazon slave factory (chattel slavery instead of the slavery of forced to sell labor for a wage). But I guess good luck explaining that to them... many seem to have the imagination of a 14 year old. They're definitely not all stupid, just extremely naive and uneducated if they think a world with zero federal government will in any tangible way be better than this one. I know a lot of people want or joke about "going back to monkey" or back to feudalism style arrangements. That's definitely not their plan though. They want something more like a Mad Max style future but they think they'll be the robot guy in charge of water (spoiler: they won't be).
I don't think this is it again I just don't think they understand that this will happen
or they like what happens to poor people
