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
They have been saying the exact same thing about the former Soviet Union for over thirty years now. Just some short term pain to correct for all the economic mismanagement of socialism. Any day now...
GDP per capita - itself a terrible measure, especially comparing socialism and capitalism - only in recent years got back up to 1991 levels in Russia. Ukraine (even before the SMO) never got back up to the Soviet level. The entire Eastern Bloc would have been better off today in GDP per capita terms if they just had barely above zero economic growth this whole time.
A whole effort post I made on the topic
