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

one of the rare
takes i disagree with is that china needs the us to buy all the stuff they make. while they might currently want closer us ties for safety and us capital, i really don't think they have a structural need for us domestic purchasing. with relatively modest consumption, there's no reason that a fully socialist and developed china would actually need constantly working armies of manufacturing labor.
Yeah, they can just start mandating more vacation days until domestic production equals domestic consumption.
But I think China's climate change plan is to dump cheap solar panels on the world until all the countries working on profit logic are forced to switch to solar power. Which does need people to buy their stuff.
