spend years reading leftist theory, but have zero real world experience

jesse-wtf

I just love this lib classic. I really do wish I lived in whatever "real world" these people live in where they don't feel even the slightest amount of rage at all the injustices imparted upon society by capitalism. Miss me with the pragmatism bullshit.

They have real world experience as a manager screaming at underlings to work harder and stop slacking.

It is basically a dog whistle for "your life doesn't count".

Quoting Bill Haywood

I've never read Marx's Capital, but I've got the marks of capital all over my body.

If you work, you know you're getting fucked by your boss. You may not have the means to put it into words to explain your exploitation, but you understand just the same that every dollar your boss gets is a dollar you didn't get for your work

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
