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

MODERATORS
Singapore is a neo liberal hellhole, but they have social housing and medicine which makes them literally Stalin.
It’s a place of bizarre contradiction; economically they’re super neoliberal and socially restrictive. But they’ve also got steep taxes, the social housing and medicine you mentioned, and technically the state is considered the owner of all the private property; businesses are more or less leasing the capital from the state. So on paper it’s highly statist capitalism, but practically if one considers Yew’s family’s long control of the state, it’s almost like the city is a private fiefdom.
