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

Honestly this is not even remotely approaching the true perils of neoliberalism. The poster is just evil, but a true believer of neoliberalism is so much more.
The true disciple of neoliberalism believes that free market is above sanctity and it must be protected at all cost, with the involvement of the state apparatus, even if it means that millions of people will die and even more impoverished in the process, because ultimately the free market is the only way that can bring about an optimized prosperity to the world’s population.
Note the difference from Austrian school libertarians, who believe that the state/government should stay out of interfering with the free market. Chicago school neoclassicals believe that the state should be fully involved in protecting the free market, with military, economic and financial warfares, and propping up anti-labor policies around the world to ensure that the sanctity of the free market is well protected.
