Yeah it was definitely the end of the gold standard and not the first generation raised entirely on red scare propaganda coming into voting age.(hexbear.net)

Not to mention the eradication of the last radical elements of the labor movement and the murder of civil rights leaders.

You’re wrong tho homie. The end of the gold standard was part of a larger project of capitalist globalization and the stripping of worker’s rights (ie neoliberalism). It wasn’t the root cause but all these dorks that care about the gold standard and the fed are correct in their distrust and anger even if they don’t have the analysis to actually explain why they’re bad things. Not to say that going back is an option, it isn’t, but the change was a link in a chain of terrible events for the US and global working class movement

Create post

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
