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

Are we sure they aren't being sarcastic?

This is almost too braindead to be real, especially with that name.

It's man from Dead Souls, (Petrushka iirc) who read a lot of books but understand nothing from them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

The first one he read might have been 'How to speed read: read any book in under 2 hours*.

Of all the emotions I felt reading capital I can’t say love was one of them

Wealth isn't commodities, it is numbers on a computer. How dare you imply that the only reason the numbers matter is that they entitle me to buy commodities!

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago

What commodity fetishism does to a mf

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Also there are entire chapters dedicated to the commodity known as "money"

least infantile criticism of marx

If someone on the internet says "grownups are talking" there's a good chance they have a wall of Funko Pops, but maybe in their defense they're only Funko Pops of mature characters from edgy shows. maybe-later-honey

I opened up my Schwab account and I have 10 shares of a mutual fund. I own thousands of companies. I’m literally bourgeois yet I’m still poor. Care to explain that, marxoids?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Yeah it's being bad at being a capitalist read State & Rev liberal

[–] [email protected] 33 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I just picked some moss and you know what it wasn't? A commodity! And neither was the ant I licked. It did get confused, though. This is why Marx was wrong.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I just picked some moss

hey :(

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh sorry I meant licked. Don't worry no moss was harmed in this bad joke.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

Sorry but you mixed your labor with it, so its basically a commodity now. Your almost bourgeois

"People keep talking about nation-states doing things, but all I'm seeing are humans and physical land. No nation-states in sight! Clearly all political theory is incoherent and wrong."
