This comment is nearly perfect

Just needs a line break between each point

Edit:

Rule 3: No bad faith comments. For example, saying "America is a shithole" without further elaboration is bad faith. Saying "America has X problem because Y reason" is presumably in good faith.

Saying "America is bad because of its neo-imperialism which has characterized its foreign policy since at least WW2, either through its public statements and actions or through later declassified information such as its involvement in the 1973 Chilean coup or the 1965 Indonesian mass killings" is presumably in good faith.

Saying "America is bad because of its monopolar position in the world economy" is bad faith.

Saying "America is bad because, in spite of the world decolonizing in form, America has taken up the imperial mantle as a premier neo-colonial power, through weaponization of finance. It extracts surplus value from other countries through financial means such as predatory IMF loans, direct economic sanctions, and manipulation of the US Dollar" is presumably in good faith.

Saying "America is bad because it starts wars" is bad faith.

Saying "America is bad because its own capitalist decline requires constant expansion into "new" markets and does not have any purely domestic economy as such. Its domestic economy is a protected garden fertilized with the excess accrued from its foreign exploits. This nationalistic self-interest coupled with the self-interest of certain capitalist businessmen in power has caused the US to be the instigator or at least partial cause of the majority of world conflicts in the last century" is presumably in good faith.

Saying "America is bad because it opposes unions" is bad faith.

Saying "America is bad because it actively passes legislation and abuses state authority to break strikes and discipline labor, all while cutting taxes and regulations for the largest corporations, even under ostensibly pro-labor liberal administrations" is presumably in good faith.

You wouldn't not respond, right? I'm just curious.

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
