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

Tfw the poster correctly recognizes that reduced consumption to combat climate change will be forced on the working classes only but he blames it on communism.
If we assume that the ruling classes of the West implemented strategies like austerity to combat growing class-consciousness, then in a way Marxism (or the reaction to it) is responsible for the falling standard of living
Are we not living in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples seized by the throat, the positions of international communism lost? Is this not the fault of the Soviets for allowing themselves to be destroyed?
Damn if only those old losers who wrote theory had any predictive power maybe I’d be able to get a girlfriend.
