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

America is no longer capitalist. Capitalism requires competition. Today every market is controlled by a small handful of ultra wealthy oligarchs. Until we restore competition, all we have is exploitation.

Didn't they just describe the entire point of capitalism?

Damn I can't believe capitalism keeps advancing to its extremely predictable endpoint. This must be something new not my beloved capitalism let's call it crony capitalism. That'll solve it

I'm sure it's just due to some pesky consumer protections. Better just remove any regulations, that'll fix it! /s

We'll try making some kind of East something Trading Company. Surely, we can defeat the monopolizing tendency of capitalism with a corporate-government hybrid structure.

Better make sure it's autonomous and armed
