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

Oddly the op doesnt mention anything about Russia or China but the comments do.

Also the contents of the link to "General trolling" are fucking hilarious. Those poor Canadian feelings :(((((

I kind of agree with our admins that we should have not been using PPB in other instances, but its funny that they mentioned it TWICE.

OK, landlords are one thing, but calling for the execution of property managers was weird. Property management is still a form of labor.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Sometimes property manager is a euphemism for land lord (boo), and sometimes it's the job title of the person the landlords hire to do all the work landlords claim justifies their existence (a worker).

Eh while they're workers they're class traitors like cops. They essentially exist to further abstract and financialize theownership of homes.

Probably don't need to call for their execution though.

I see, sounds like they mean owners, not so much workers. It is quick not to be an owner: Give away property.

But I understand how you react when you interpret it as general workers.

With a lie, was quick, too.

I assume that's what they meant, but that's not what they said and someone already primed to believe ebil tankies stalin giant spoon bullshit isn't gonna be charitable.

Hell a lot of unexamined libs don't understand the difference between a property manager and landlord or manager and owner.

A really rich person I knew always titled themself as being a "property manager", but in fact she owned the houses and the management was mostly done by others.

Sure, and Elon Musk calls himself an engineer.
