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

Yeah, in the late game you basically need Council Republic because the Investment Pool contributions get artificially nerfed the larger your GDP gets. And nerfed in such a way that the capitalists money just disappears into the void it doesn't recirculate. So you want to have as few capitalists as possible then. Capitalism so good it suffers from it's own success.

The problem with capitalism is that it makes the investment class too rich. This shows that capitalism is actually an extremely good system with no flaws. very-intelligent

I always play this game as a neoliberal. It has an extra challenge to try to make the galaxy a peaceful, cooperative, populous and diverse place compared to just easily genociding everyone

Massive "would rather be a murderous monster but maybe if everyone is grateful enough won't be a murderous monster for now" peterson-sus energy.

The void is called their fucking bank accounts

Wrong. It’s actually an anonymous Caribbean or Delaware LLC owned by 5 different shell companies.

Ah yes, "everything will be incredibly good as long as the ~~white man's burden succeeds~~ world is made to follow the same ideology as us".

And if this person believes in Khrushcev style peaceful coexistence? Lol, lmao. They follow a worldview whose goals are incompatible with the goals of the ruling class they support.
