Wasn’t one of the kings of Mali literally one of the richest people on Earth at some point? Edit: Mansa Musai I

The people who make this argument very rarely care about it being factually accurate. They will use history in so far as it confirms to them that they deserve to have what they currently have, and that the people they don’t like don’t have what they need. Same as those chud memes from a few years ago that showed Europe 2000 years ago, and it was Rome, and Africa today, with a masaii village in Kenya. Never mind that these examples are extremely cherrypicked, they serve to confirm the preconceived notions of the people who see these and go “yeah, maybe we are in fact the master race”.

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
