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

I'm seeing double digit inflation here in the US while China is pumping out mega project after mega project. Who's "sputtering" ?

Sure china is delivering on infrastructure, and making life materially better for the majority of its citizens, but at what cost?xicko

You may have your high speed rail and budding aviation industry and crazy cheap high standard of living and the ability to retire at the age of 60, but at least I have my freedom to eat burger.

Seems to me the american dream isn't even sputtering anymore. It's dead and the cops are still not done beating it.
