I like to hit people with some variation of:

A couple years ago I hired a guy to patch my roof. Now I'm selling my house. How much of the proceeds should I give him?

People start twisting themselves in knots real fast with that example. They generally understand and accept home ownership even if they can't afford it but they simply can NOT empathize with equity holders otherwise.

Did you not pay your roofer wtf

Even scholars whose theories aged far better like Darwin and Newton are similarly unreadable

It's like they see a joke that other people do, and think "we must also be seen as capable of this hu-man expression known as "humour" we shall create a "joke" to laugh at with our fellow hu-mans."

Newtonian physics is famously the most accurate and developed physics model for objects of all sizes and in all situations.

The argument goes "and other employees are also paid"

But this isn't what Marx actually argues, they are arguing against an insipid strawman

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
