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

Jesus fucking lol and it is so funny considering she literally talks about Marx and the industrial revolution and dismisses it, like please which is it?

How can you be so fundamentally wrong holy shit, I was skeptical when the other thread compared her with Peterson or whatever but boy oh boy this is the worst way possible to double down.

Just how hard is it to just own it, say some obviously fake PR shit like "oh we learned a lesson from the feedback of our community and we will do better in the future" or "we understand we should have approached the topic with a little more rigor" or something.

I fully admit I was willing to let her take this L as a fluke, something something her "team"(maybe even herself) suggested a bad topic and the minions can't afford to tell her that was a bad idea or something, but no.

I can't wait for the triple down I guess. Even the replies are still roasting her lol.

I read this comment as "Capitalism isn't deregulation". I agree the video isn't great, but this intepretation seems the wrong way around.

Yeah I kind of posted this after reading some of that comment thread so my interpretation is a bit biased towards that fact, It is tough because she is all over the place but the gist of her thought is she thinks we believe Capitalism equals deregulation equals all the bad things(and that is why we dislike the video) but she doesn't understand that the free market by definition and as defended by libertarians is opposite to regulations.

So the only one thinking regulations/de-regulation equals capitalism is herself, in reality neither are central parts of the definition of capitalism, let alone a qualifier of good or bad by itself(as we know capitalists want less not more). And the entire video and her comments there are total nonsense.

She fundamentally does the same thing, trying to mislead the viewer into believing money and trading are central concepts of capitalism instead of shit we've done for thousands for years before it.

Fair enough, but yep, very much all agreed. Her justification at tihs stage seems to be "oh, these people must just hate capitalism because deregulation exists", no attempt to understand the problems. Very frustrating.
