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

The capitalist West: "The free market allows businesses to fail, government intervention bad"
Also the neoliberals: "China not bailing out real estate corporations is evil 1984 commie totalitarianism"
A very serious ideology.
Yeah I feel like even as propagandized Americans are everyone pretty much knows bailing out everyone in 08 was a massive mistake and we should never do it again.
We literally did it again in 2020, idk what you are talking about about. What do you think 'quantitative easing' is?
I mean what exactly do you think a dictatorship of the borgschwazzee is?
If there was any hope for this country burning down businesses that got PPP loans forgiven would have been a nationwide meme.
I saw Jamie Dimon's name in a headline the other day that wasn't about a jail sentence or an obituary. It's incredible his name still has purchase in the world of economics.
"But they paid back those loans with interest" - my mother
Yea turns out when instead of punishing a company for taking everybody's money you give them a couple billion dollars of free money they can figure out how to make the 1.25% interest payments none of us would ever get.
