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

I’ve heard this argument before. They hear liberals talking about how minimum wage increases disproportionately help black people and what they hear is “liberals think black people’s labor is inherently worth less because they be harmed more in a truly free market.”
So basically the same problem as all capitalism “libertarianism”. It’s completely idealistic and refuses to view anything in historical context and therefore ends up being racist as shit on its own, among other faults. Like, shit, I wonder if there are any historical reasons why black Americans’ labor is undervalued.
Yeah this was some kind of riff on that only it was even worse because they were talking about how there's just no incentive for black people in particular to gain skills when there's a minimum wage. This was, of course, a middle-aged white guy.
