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

I'm here just for making Britain poorer
We're doing that to ourselves just fine atm
That's just dollar value though, it doesn't really tell the whole story.
Yea, the standard of living would collapse across the entire imperial core without dirt cheap resources and outsourced labour
yes, but what about the average redditor?
fuckin nuts that the countries with the greatest wealth inequality are the US, Sweden (???), and the former Soviet bloc.
Depends how you measure inequality tbh. If you measure gaps between the average income of the richest 10% and the poorest 10%, the US has a 3x higher inequality ratio than Sweden. If you measure gaps between the top 1% and bottom 50%, Sweden becomes more comparable to America, and is actually one of the few countries to have more billionaires per capita than the US. Sure they got their succdem benefits and strong social safety net, but they're the biggest free market shills when it comes to corporations and CEOs
