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

MODERATORS
This is like my dad said about how Xi is sending youth into the countryside to farm like in Mao's Cultural Revolution (he was talking about how there are incentive for the government to send educated people to do town development)
Better die in a field than suffer in a cubicle
god what an unimaginable dystopian hell. rather than just let their small towns rot alongside the people in them the government is forcing people to go and develop those areas with juicy incentives
like imagine going and getting an education and then being able to choose to do socially valuable work that the government heavily encourages
i'm gonna cry
This is kind of funny because he also complains how China is a hellscape because they prioritize in urban development , creating unbalanced development. At this point, it is not salvageable
pivoting so fast i become a human drill china is sucking the life out of all the rural areas and using it to fuel its reckless urban development! every .001% increase in GDP is a thousand villages razed to the ground by the ruthless monsters at the cccp
How many leftists here in the West would cry to the high heavens if they were told to do this
the idea alone is nearly enough to make me cry!
no, really. i'm tearing up just thinking about it
why do we live in hell
:|
iirc I think Australia has some plan like this but foreign students trying to get a permanent visa or something have to spend 2 years in the farms, I'm probably misremembering it slightly; one of my old school teachers told the class about how she did it but later decided to return to live in Britain
Oh ok yeah that makes more sense, thanks for doing the leg work to fact check me <3
imo its a dumb comparison because its not imaginable
Yeah no it's entirely imaginable. I'm seeing plenty of western
leftists malding at being told they have to help Q-brainwormed meemaws and pawpawps tear out and replace their lead-painted drywall and plumbing all across america.
Catch me finding idyllic peace while growing prosperity in solidarity with my neighbors and the environment
This is my job in Hawaii, I do love it! You guys should join me sometime, there's always enough work to go around.
Damn, is this just lib bullshit? Because that sounds pretty neat ngl.
The cities have problems with unemployed youth and the country needs more development, so it seems like a pretty damn fantastic solution to both those problems to me.
This is a viable strategy that has been used by China since the 1st republic.
