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

There's never a reasonable justification to receive a compensation in wealth if you don't produce an equivalent amount, that is unless there's consent. An ownership of money that would allow the acquisition of rental properties isn't a production of wealth that warrants a compensation. It's not a difficult thing to understand.
Even though there's no reasonable justification for it, people capturing wealth still gain bargaining power. They force consumers to either pay a ransom or produce wealth to replace the captured one. Producing two houses to be able to use only one is twice the cost for society. This cost is higher than the cost of the ransom. This is called the exploitation of the cost of producing redundancy.
Just like there's no reasonable justification for being compensated for a sole ownership of anything, there's no reasonable justification for exploiting the cost of producing redundancy.
Exploiting the cost of producing redundancy is literal extortion, which is highly illegal.
