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

I love this tweet. Egg monopoly in all of China is just such an insane concept

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Right? And it's not like a manufactured good or a limited resource you can control either. They're eggs! All you need is a hen!

"We had the entire country by the balls via holding a monopoly over a very specific and useful foodstuff and they just TOOK that from us and forced us to live like PEASANTS"

That woman cannot be more than 40, right? In that time, pretty sure the only time China “takes” property is when you do criminal shit (so no different from any country). I’m guessing “her” property refers to the fact that her great grandpa or something was a landlord, so instead of living a normal working life she thinks she’s entitled to just sit around and collect rent from peasants on “her” property.

I knew a guy claimed to have had a multi billion dollar landlording portfolio seized by the Chinese state for no reason. Which I maintain was a hilarious prank

Good riddance.

The sense of entitlement to private property is truly stunning

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I feel like the fact that property is so high up there kind of makes for bad optics

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

wow i am sure this one single woman protesting xi jinping with vague slogans written in English is definitely a real protestor and not an actor in any way shape or form
