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.

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

China, famous for not reducing poverty by huge amounts

[–] [email protected] 48 points 7 months ago (1 children)

they reduced poverty so heavily that the world bank would not include them in their worldwide reports because they skewed the data so hard

something like 1 billion chinese were lifted out of poverty in a 30 year period

Didn't they include them, because otherwise, it would make global poverty look worse and defeat the 'purpose' of neoliberalism, lmao....
