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

Imperialism keeps the periphery underdeveloped and overexploited through various methods so that the wage disparity can continue regardless of the material conditions in the imperial core. For example, if a nation in the periphery were to build their own factories and begin to outproduce the imperial core... they would get bombed... and regime changed... and comprador puppets would be put into power... and those puppets would take out IMF loans... with prerequisite privatization and anti-union measure... and then the core would do direct foreign investment so that the natural resources and infrastructure would be owned by them instead of the locals. That's an extreme example. It doesn't always happen exactly that way, but if enough of those boxes get checked, the imperial core can force wages down in the periphery, and continue to use them as a source of cheap labor.
I don't know if mass adoption of Work From Home would be enough to reverse that. The 1st world has their thumb on the scale big time.
