the_dunk_tank
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

"Some billionaires did a great thing once, so they are not bad."
This is the capitalist framing of saying "I am not racist, I have a black friend."
Name me one billionaire that has provided a net good that has outweighed their net bad. You can't do it. It is fundamentally why they are billionaires in the first place because they exploited and stole from everyone else. They are not a necessary component to society, they are an eventuality of capitalism and at their very best, an inefficiency.
The ongoing copium of living inside this failing system is not only to justify them, but say they are going to save us. These people just need to admit they want a king with devine right because they don't believe any other system can work.
