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

MODERATORS
Comparing doctors to economists like they're remotely comparable is fucking funny.
Capitalist economists are more equivalent to astrologists than a professional science.
Literal satanic human sacrifice death cult for pagan idols
Mainstream economy is pseudoscience since they took their first step back in order to not admit Ricardo was on a right course. And it could be even worse, Austrian school for example is literal cult.
The priesthood of the cult of the line
Seeing a raven at noon and using it to predict the coming collapse of Russia's economy.
Economists are the new feudal clergy, they only exist to justify the current ruling class.
The wealthy are wealthy because God / The Market is rewarding their value.
The poor are poor because God / The Market is punishing their laziness.
Economists treat the modern economy the same way Abrahamics treat God - as an unpredictable, fickle monster that you can't ask anything of.
You can't blame God / The Market when it punishes you, you can't directly control it or tame it, but you can offer it incentives at most and be grateful for scraps.
God / The Market doesn't exist to serve Man. Man exists to serve God / The Market.
