I don't really want to link the discord server and cause issues for it, so if that's an issue for rule one I'm sorry, please remove the post. I just had to share with someone.

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

Sure bud. Maybe actually talk to a homeless person once in awhile rather than just conversing in your mind palace.
The problem is that it costs money to train people who "make things work" and that is money that the government doesn't usually want to spend, which is why the U.S. is falling behind in STEM but surging in business and finance majors. Additionally, if you have too many people who 'make things work' and not enough people who 'actually work' the entire system falls apart. Also, frequently the people who claim that they are 'making things work' are just making more paperwork and forms for those that 'actually work' while the people who 'actually work' have to pull together processes on the fly to make sure things actually work, and usually do not get paid extra to do so.
Also, and this is crucial, even when there is a shortage of people who 'actually work' for some reason they still don't get paid their full 'market value'. It's almost as if there is a weird, illogical, hierarchical ownership structure that has absolutely nothing to do with this weird dichotomy of 'make things work' and 'actually work' people.
This analogy is complete crap and whomever wrote this is incredibly dim. How can communism be both the primary worker and the leech of others labor? Also, that is a family system under capitalism, it is not related to the worker council or popular election structures practiced under communism. And even so, the person who fed you, raised you, and dealt with all of your tedious bullshit isn't due any kind of respect or deference according to this person. They are to be abandoned at the best opportunity, so you can be 'reliable and strong'. Just the most ungrateful little pisspot.
Analogies and their consequences.
