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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

like i know these people are technically meant to be our allies because they don't own the means of production, but how the fuck do you spend more than my family's annual income on fast food? how are we meant to find common ground with people who are able and happy to do this? visible-disgust

edit: turns out this is a repost. sorry. but still, i standby my disgust

It doesn't have to be that many times more important as much as it should not be a net negative, such as a hedge fund manager. kombucha-disgust

A starbucks barista would be 1000 times more valuable to peoples lives than whatever shit this person could possibly be doing

people like coffee and someone has to make it, making coffee is good and based

Multiplying zero results in zero, yeah.

EDIT:

As someone else said already, I was talking about the linked person with the humblebragging about (probably inherited/connected) wealth.

Service workers provide infinitely more value than failson scions.

It was a good clarification to ask of me; I'd feel horrible if it seemed like I was going Hazbrained and badmouthing service workers.
