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

Love calling someone a Luddite while he made a video with a phone to post it on social media, very Luddite indeed

it was an anti industrialist movement in rural england. Basically what people who like the unabomber think the unabomber was

similar to how some people read paradise lost and think the devil is sympathetic without realising that Milton was also using the book as a vehicle to express his own radical opinions about the civil war - basically if you read paradise lost and found the anti-hierarchy stuff appealing you don't like the devil you like Oliver Cromwell

it was workers destroying the products of their own labor instead of seizing them from the bourgeoisie because pro-labor movements before Marx not yet developed an internally consistent theory of surplus value. it was also not anti-industrialist. It was simple flash-in-the-pan anger at technological unemployment. They were not opposed to technology in other areas of society outside their craft. So it was a form of craft consciousness, as Debs calls it, rather than class consciousness.

maybe but they did focus their destruction on the industrial machines. It wasn't a very organised movement and it didn't have a well thought out stance on things but it was an anti-industrial movement.
