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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

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

He's responding to a shit ton of anti-zionist twitter accounts through his instagram stories and throwing a tantrum about them. Go to r/h3snark to see more of them

Capitalism's strongest soldier here being the one who owns no capital and produces no value. Some kinda projection about him realizing he is useless to society

I mean, he sucks but he quite literally own capital with the podcast and all that, and it does make money obviously. It isn't a very significant amount, akin to a small business tyrant, but let's be real here.

His means of production is churning out parasocial bullshit. marx-joker

I dunno, I refuse to accept a podcast as capital. I'd have to read more theory but that is just straight up a scam or something. Like, news papers own news printers. YouTube owns serves. A website is a product on someone else's capital. I feel like it woud count as something diffrnet.

It is capital as long as he suck the labour value

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that's a good point.

It is media. Any other media production enterprise owns the capital to produce their product. The studio is capital, and the general continuity of the show is a form of capital (an audience who will tune in, some of them paying money). And of course all this capital requires labor to be operated, which ethan exploits.

Teddy fresh has definitely exploited more labor on a larger scale, and is more easily seen as traditional capitalism.

I am sure you are right but I don't like it.
