why do you even consider yourself a socialist at that point? like, you look around at the immense suffering capitalism necessitates and you think "hm, we should stop that," but then you look at the empire built by and for the class that the whole system is designed to keep in power and you think that somehow they accidentally created a good, progressive global hegemon?

fuck i'm actually reading it and their reasoning is "yes, the US might not be perfect, but at least it crushed any possibility for international communism with brutal efficiency!" you're just a liberal man. you're just a normal liberal. your politics are not significantly different from those of your lib parents. you would knock on doors for kirsten gillibrand's campaign if she said please.

A single mom working at a bar contributes to drunk driving accidents, alcoholism, and domestic violence, but you'd never call out the workers as being the problem there, right?

Because they're slightly annoyed by capitalism cutting into their own lives, usually just healthcare and education. Maybe violence/crime and homeless being visibly part of their communities/media, too. Maybe social depression and consumer goods becoming increasingly junk.

They have a handful of really specific issues (you know which ones) and they will not budge an inch left of that. They pick up the socialist rhetoric because that's where the energy's at for tackling social injustices on social media, but it's just tidbits of rhetoric, they not going to actually study marxism or take anything to heart.

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
