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

Hmmm, sussy US government think tank. I think I'll pass.
Nah, let's just take a quick peek.

lol lmao even, guess I'll pass
Wow, that's embarrassing. I guess there's no way to keep peddling this shit in current year without showing their entire ass though.
Even accepting the titular claim, it's still not bad. The worst possible thing that could happen is a total monopoly on imperialism which cannot be meaningfully opposed by a coherent entity like a nation or bloc of nations. If it were the US which acquired such a monopoly, we'd be absolutely fucked. Even domestically, the ruling class would have no reason not to max all of the dials it's used in unequal exchange abroad.
