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

I hate that argument. Most food production in the imperial core comes from like a few highly industrialised corporations ruthlessly exploiting cheap labour from eastern europe. We' re not in 1800 anymore where "the farmer" is just some humble person selling their produce on the local farmers market. And even if they were it wouldn't make them immune to progress
Holy shit, so much propaganda is wrapped around the idea that a “farmer” in the modern day is a kindly old white man tending to his fields and not some landed gentry millionaire who has immigrants doing all the real work under the table.
