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

You see, Amazon is actually socialist. Jeff Bezos is a communist trying to create productive forces to establish a Workers Republic.
A look into the mind of Ben Shapiro
Socialism for only one type of people. Where have I heard that before ? Calvinist ? Elons idea sounds like National Socialism with extra steps. Then again Elon has been mask off for a while.
The belief that there's a special "elect" that is powerful because they deserve power and that the powers that command the universe favor the powerful because power is good is pretty Calvinistic sounding to me. And yes, extending that further does look awfully familiar.
Speaking of which I finally got around to reading settlers and I remember right off the bat, that it discussed that the mythology of America and “egalitarianism” really meant class solidarity among the white bourgeoisie. Even a settler bragged that America is the place where “no one had to work” (except those filthy browns of course, but they’re not people. Just the help.)
Reminds me of Ancient Greek utopianists, who envisioned ideal society as such, where the lowliest farmer had at least three slaves.
