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

Living standards in China have skyrocketed in the same period that they have collapsed in the West and stagnated in other developing countries like India. So what exactly is your point? That China is not a workers utopia? Or what? Can you not understand the difference between the trajectory of the Chinese working class compared to the US?
It’s very complex to compare income equivalents across such different countries and does not necessarily give an accurate indication of living standards anyway. The Chinese government has the kind of support that Western governments could only dream of. That is because for most Chinese people, they can see their lives are getting better and their children will have better lives still. Can the same be said in any Western country?
