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 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

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

a single glance at any railway accident stats will tell you how deeply unserious this person is.
china is nowhere near the top. most railway accidents? US (or possibly india, depending on who you believe and how it's counted). most fatalities in railway accidents? south africa.
but yeah, it's china's railways that are uniquely, especially dangerous.
remember the east palestine ohio deraiment and when everybody freaked out the rail companies said "dont worry this happens all the time" and then everybody forgot about it.
I 'member when the safety issues around this were called out by over worked rail workers who were going to strike and then pro-Union Biden broke the strike.
the UAW endorses this message
I swear, that incident should have instantly ended anarcho-capitalism as a concept right then and there.
: "Train derailments with tons of collateral damage are normal, bro. We have no incentive to change this"
And people think these types need MORE power?
I still can't believe that we were all told by Porky and Biden that the giant black cloud engulfing East Palestine was actually perfectly safe, and every Lib just went "okay"
the US in a nutshell tbh
