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
Hot take: I suspect more often than not that's an Op. Well not a literal Op I guess, more like kayfabe. Billionaires actually fucking love their lives, they're drinking wine on yachts, doing drugs you haven't even heard of, going to orgies (consensual or otherwise). But they have to make it seem like they deserve this lifestyle so they tell everyone that actually they hustle 24/7 to manage these massive economic powerhouses that if collapsed would leave the world in shambles, so they act like it sucks, and really they'd probably be happier if they just lived the simple life of a tax accountant of whatever, all the cocaine orgies are just a salve for the misery of their responsibilities!
Honestly I think the left should drop this whole "oppressive systems hurt the oppressors too" line. Yeah it's true sometimes but I think the people on top are overall having a way better time than everyone else, acting like they're actually all super depressed just humanizes them and makes the poor think they don't have it so bad, making it less likely they'll get the guillotines out.
Either way their problems are fake rich people shit, mine are real
