If the USA could just get off the over-consumption kick we seem to be on and get off the crack pipe of cheap consumer products, and move our means of production to other places including the U.S. China may not be so bold. We've handed it to them all in the name of cheap labor and profit for the big corps...which actually isn't so cheap anymore anyway. Make them feel it. Get off of Tik-Tok too.

Yeah, just do it stupid

The majority of Americans are barely scraping by as it is. Make it so consumer goods are a lot more expensive and you will really see what the cool zone has to offer. You just know the person making this comment is some comfortable labor aristocrat who loves their high end luxury treats who thinks everyone poorer than them is just blowing money on new iPhones every other month. If the US were cut off from manufactured goods produced cheaply from outside the US, the resulting collapse would make 90s Russia look like a balloon party.

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
