To these types, small business owners ARE the working class. Actual workers don’t even register as people to them, they see us as disposable suckers who they tricked into making them rich.

That’s why you see all this push for everyone to become an individual small business owner. In a post-labor world, only the people lucky enough to have millions to start a business and beat the odds of said business failing, or those who inherited their business have any “right” to even exist.

Source: I’ve seen the inside of some of these business types. Although they don’t use the language (and I’m not sure if they intentionally understand it this way), but these business types have tons of class solidarity and practically have a reverse-engineered Marxist worldview. This is why we see the rise of networking, porks genuinely want to live in a world where only their fellow porks exist so networking is then seeing you as a friend and giving you permission to have an income out of the kindness of their hearts.

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
