This is almost too sad to dunk on. People running the world have never had a reflective conversation with a professional trained to help process emotions and healthily cope with the human condition. They're in charge of billions of dollars worth of resources and guiding society's investment into the future. Cooooool
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
I've worked in the service industry for years and years, and while the teens I worked with could be obnoxious sometimes, it wasn't before I got my first tech job that I realized that those kids were more far more emotionally mature than the backbiting man-children that the tech industry courts. I've never participated in a more reactionary workplace. Devoid of solidarity and zero interest in anything that challenges their beliefs. I've met dudes in retail that can quote anarchist literature and met a union organizer for the first time in food service. Professional techies can't go more than 3 sentences without salivating over the their own relative triumph in the market over their "lessers." I was pretty competent at the job, but I'm never going back to that industry unless I'm offered a wage far above what I can eek out while being among people that are more likely to share an interest in materially (rather than bazinga-ly) improving conditions for the vast majority of humanity.
