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

Are we sure they aren't being sarcastic?

This is almost too braindead to be real, especially with that name.

This guy is like 10% decent criticism of academia and 90% ![bait](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/a201bfea-49fd-4f3f-8209-8f182486876d.png "emoji bait")

Of all the emotions I felt reading capital I can’t say love was one of them

[–] beautiful_boater@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wealth isn't commodities, it is numbers on a computer. How dare you imply that the only reason the numbers matter is that they entitle me to buy commodities!

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

What commodity fetishism does to a mf

[–] panopticon@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Also there are entire chapters dedicated to the commodity known as "money"

Marx continues to lol, and lmao, in his grave ![marx-joker](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/e03eb568-1549-4d5a-b288-65c7df19dd8e.png "emoji marx-joker")

least infantile criticism of marx

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

If someone on the internet says "grownups are talking" there's a good chance they have a wall of Funko Pops, but maybe in their defense they're only Funko Pops of mature characters from edgy shows. ![maybe-later-honey](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/248a9dfc-2abe-44af-bce3-a89874a6941a.png "emoji maybe-later-honey")

I opened up my Schwab account and I have 10 shares of a mutual fund. I own thousands of companies. I’m literally bourgeois yet I’m still poor. Care to explain that, marxoids?

[–] fox@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's being bad at being a capitalist read State & Rev liberal

"Youre doing a bit"

"Fuck off!" ... (Says exactly what I'd say next if this was a bit)

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just picked some moss and you know what it wasn't? A commodity! And neither was the ant I licked. It did get confused, though. This is why Marx was wrong.

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just picked some moss

hey :(

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh sorry I meant licked. Don't worry no moss was harmed in this bad joke.

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Sorry but you mixed your labor with it, so its basically a commodity now. Your almost bourgeois

[–] SnAgCu@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

most cogent anticommunist theory

What could be less commoditized than perfectly fungible digital dollars on a screen

I think this perfectly sums up all political debates i ever had on the internet.

[–] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A perfect illustration of the average burger American’s political beliefs

[–] NotErisma@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

I think the "Fuck off" at the end really added an extra patty to this burger belief

Mr. Marx is helping me find my commodities.

"People keep talking about nation-states doing things, but all I'm seeing are humans and physical land. No nation-states in sight! Clearly all political theory is incoherent and wrong."
