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

Always projection

Socialists don't want "free stuff." We want the stuff that we built. We want the full value of our labor. We want the world we've already built

Always love these "I found the secret way to make loads of money! Here, let me share it with you for some reason!"

I find it hard to believe there's people who fall for this.

what if I am lured by the promise of free stuff? I dont see how thats an issue if the economic system is able to support that.

But theesee are all lies. Under socialism people would potentially get stuff for free! And thats just wrong. How can people make money lying to desperate people, if they're not desperate?

Who doesn't want free stuff? Are you really telling me that all those people frothing about "welfare queens" would rather work than get paid for nothing if that garbage was actually true?

we-are-not-the-same

People in capitalism want free stuff so they don’t have to be slaves anymore.

People in socialism want free stuff because they know that our technological state of development supports it and we shouldn’t need to work more than a few hours a day at most.

We are not the same.

When ancient alchemists wanted something for nothing everybody slobbed their knobs, but when I do it suddenly there's a problem

The Soviet Union would deport lazy dipshit foreigners if they immigrated there with the intention of freely living off of the work of others without contributing to the Union.

What is the deal with these guys and beards? Not to say anything negative about beards but there is so desperate about the chuddy types and how performative and one dimensional their masculinity is.
