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
Then perhaps they should design highways for the city. I’m looking at random locations in states that aren’t known for their tech industry, and I’m finding a bunch of non military shit. There are jobs where you travel from location to location and handle IT matters. There are customer service jobs, development jobs for telecoms. I say this as a CS major without a career yet: tough shit. STEM fuckers are some of the laziest, most entitled bastards
customer service does not pay a livable wage. and you need like a couple handful of people to design a highway
yea, probably cause you didn't choose to sell out right?
You're just supporting my argument that almost the entire portion of American jobs that pay a good wage is in the business of the worst types of exploitation. Is that really that surprising by far the largest empire on this planet has a crap load of evil jobs?
I'm also curious how it was decided these jobs were non-military. Like how many steps removed is good enough? If they do business with / are a vendor for Honeywell but don't directly sell to the DoD is that OK or is that complicity? What if it is a small portion of the business but you don't work on it?
There's entire fields/industries that probably can't get removed from this, and while it is fine to say people shouldn't support them it really comes across more as blinders on how extensive this is.
