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
People are choosing to ignore the problem: the farmers that are planting rice aren't making as much money farming as farmers that are able to plant for profit, and the gov't isn't doing sufficient to make up for the loss of revenue while despite requiring their labor for the good of the state. As stated in the lede, "But these new plans clash with other signature directives, including pulling farmers out of poverty—and that is causing resentment and confusion." If farmers discover that they can go do other things that involve less backbreaking work and make more money doing it, then you have fewer people willing to farm in the first place. Which, of course, you can solve by using forced labor, since no one seems to give a shit about the Uyghurs.
If you believe that the state is more important than any personal rights to individual self determination, then sure, this is a totally fair policy. If you believe that the state has the right to enforce poverty on one group of people in order to ensure the comfort of a different group of people is morally justified, then it's also cool.
I would say that if the state expects people to do labor, then the state should be expected to pay for that labor. Particularly when that state has the 2nd greatest number of billionaires of any country in the world, and could not realistically be called "communist" when compared to any of the source material.
Lol I got to the forced labor part and immediately looked up to see what instance you were from. I love federation
hi liberal
lmao liberal
Trans rights are a liberal value. You can call yourself a liberal or a "maga leftist", but that just means you're lying about what you call yourself.
You're just muddying the waters like a misinformation troll.
Seemingly not based on your comments, fuck off out of our instance
I'm not even a liberal, but y'all are so chronically online and accustomed to being in a little echo chamber you can't talk to anyone rationally.
I've never met a trans person IRL who needs me to remember 4 pronouns, or needs pronouns like "Fae", but say something on Hexbear and you're instantly transphobic liberal Hitler.
You lost me at
So silly, I live in an exceedingly queer part of a city and work in a business that is all queer people, so about 1/5 of everyone I work with is trans.
As far as I can tell, neopronouns are entirely a basement dweller thing.
This tells more about you than about the people you interact with. A person I worked with was telling me and a trans ally he never heard someone complain about what pronouns he uses (in a meeting in which we spoke out against a transphobic suggestion he made). He was quite sure of himself and didn't want to hear what we said. Even after we did make that semi public he stood his position, which is funny since my ally did actually demand in public to be recognized with the correct terms and name.
People didn't feel save around him. In my environment trans people and plenty of others are giving you pronouns, but then again I am not outside the scene, am I?
I guarantee the chud that said this likes to call people NEETS while either projecting from a basement or smugly sits comfortably upon their parents' boat dealership money and does chores sometimes to "earn" it.
I wish I never knew this reference
tell us more, I'm sure your coworkers would love to hear about this.
So you say trans rights are a liberal value right? Ah yes of course, that checks out.
I'll be going now. Actually, just one more thing, it's probably nothing - didn't you just say you don't consider yourself a liberal?
I have many liberal values but I don't identify as a liberal.
Liberalism had its place in pushing the envelope of progressivism for a while, but it's not good enough.
You are deffinitely a liberal, but you don't even know why we are calling you that.
they're definitely a fascist
Yes but the dipshit maybe actually believe they aren't
they're already banned, you're not gonna get a response from them lol
I believe in egalitarianism, and personal liberty, to the extend that it does not override egalitarianism.
Oh for fuck sakes , that's what liberalism defines itself as.
Again, you don't even understand your liberalism, nor why it blends so well with your fascistic tendencies we all know you have.
There's a simple explanation why liberals like you emit Hitler particles at such rate.
noo liberalism is when karl marx forces videogames to have age of consent in them :(
Well you're obviously not a socialist, and you're not a liberal, so that means you're either a libertarian/conservative or some secret fourth thing, so please enlighten me, what are you?
I believe in egalitarianism, and personal liberty, to the extend that it does not override egalitarianism.
Those are vague term to obvuscate what you are, I also believe in egalitarianism and personal liberty to the extent that it does not override egalitarianism, are you also a communist just like all of us here?
Fae is a right libertarian. This is classic “NAP but I want to sound progressive, not conservative”. The embarrassed propertarians that realise their politics are repugnant. No pronouns, no regulations like age of consent.
oh we know we are talking to a right wing libertarian, aka an american liberal (red party)
its just so funny to see them lose their minds at being called what they are
Shut the fuck up you sophistry-slinging cryptofascist coward.
Correct. Liberals have a tendency of equivocating the issue of human rights. Like you enjoy doing.
Please tell me you think the homeless are the real landlords so that we get the full triad of American Liberalism out of you.
Yes
you're right, you're a fascist. and we have strict rules for fascists. you need to post your hog real quick.
damn, you're such a Liberal you had to respond to me twice about how much of a Liberal you totally aren't
trans rights are human rights btw
You’re one of those fucking morons from r/stupidpol aren’t you?
Practice democratic centralism, this means for hexbear shut up and read up on trans rights . The struggle session was decided and in the better times you would've been banned a while ago.
Go fuck yourself. You're literally saying that transphobia is trans people's fault. We do not tolerate that bullshit here.
No, it's not trans people. It's specifically just Hexbear, and it's because you've been a tiny echo chamber so long y'all have lost touch with reality.
I'm sorry, what part of "Go fuck yourself" was not clear?
what kind of idiot wastes their time taking stances that aren't strong anyhow? Give it 100% or don't bother.
