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
liberals completely making up historical things that didn't occur. They can't see history as a sequence of class struggles at all. They think of the development of capitalism as an enlightened set of rules between people nodding and saying "I agree." All historical development occurs when one or two smart and probably white guys make a declaration they've invented cool new ideas. Then everyone nods and says they agree, and their ideas manifest into reality.
Apparently the video is about how the Unity video game engine is going to charge everyone who uses it a fee based on the monthly revenue of the game being made, which is still normal everyday capitalism. They want to call it feudalism because this somehow violates the rules they made up for how capitalism is supposed to work.
not really related but the Unity debacle isn't about Unity charging a fee based on project revenue, but on install numbers, as determined by them through some unspecified, hidden means. they just announced this last week and were met with immediate backlash from pretty much every dev who uses their tools.
Oh I see, thank you. I didn't properly understand the situation, it's such a debacle.
