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
It costs $2,350.00

You’d also have to pay exit taxes on any assets you’re bringing with you when you go, I think. I think financially the costs of renouncing far outweigh the benefits, most people who emigrate to live in other countries never renounce their citizenship.
Yep. If I lived in another country I'd want to keep my passport just in case for a lot of reasons. It would be so cool to be able to tell Uncle Sam to fuck off though.
What a weird way to run things. I renounced my Japanese citizenship because the Japanese Foreign Ministry was harrassing my mum about it, and we did have to go to the consulate and fill out a frankly miniscule amount of paperwork and pay no money.
all your assets. not just the ones you take with you
