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

The same person can be a customer at Walmart, a worker at Walmart, and a shareholder/owner at Walmart. Class as a Marxist concept maybe made sense when you could only be a worker or an owner. But it doesn’t work in a world where you can seamlessly switch between categories, or be all of them at the same time.

these people have rocks in their skulls

Marx expressly addresses this a number of times in his writings.

Liberals and making arguments already explicitly disproven by books they refuse to read, NAMID.

"Oh you have $60 in stocks in a company, that makes you a capitalist." - people who say we don't understand economics

I want to see this dork seamlessly switch between Walmart greeter and Walmart owner. Just do it, if it's that easy.

...and a shareholder/owner at Walmart...

Oh boy... somebody's gonna lose their shit when they hear about the different types of "shares" a company can buy/sell/trade.

This person seems to think people are magically ordained with the elastic social mobility of bubble gum when in reality his reddit brain is made of bubble gum.

Man whose brain is made of bubblegum: "think of social mobility like a pack of juicy fruit"

Lmao, it was something to the effect that the bazinga brain believed that social mobility was as pliable as bubblegum, but actually it was their brain that had the consistency of bubblegum.
