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

literally no capitalist industry is going to outcompete China in anything anymore in because they literally can not afford to in the vagaries of the market as private monopolist entities beholden to the interests they are; Most major companies based in the US been inflating their own value for their shareholders and investors with things like stock buyback book padding for 2 decades (and tech companies are among the worst offenders


them and airline companies, but it's universal with capitalist corporations); which is all value not reinvested as productive or RND capital, meaning not tied to any metric of productivity or growth or improvement in anything, spelling nothingness in the long term for the capitalist, and in all terms for the (ever-growing and ever-poorer with no expansion of industry from reinvestment) working class. That these capitalists aren't reckoning with that, I take great glee in. Because it is their end.
