40% of American workers have less than $400 in savings, 56% have less than $1000 in savings. Obviously these people’s interests aren’t in alignment with those of their capitalists class.

All of the time? Certainly not. Domestically? Almost entirely not.

The extraction of wealth from the Global South? 100%. The only reason what money the poorest Americans have is worth what it is is due to the plunder of the rest of the planet. The depravity poor Americans experience is nearly unique among the parasite nations, but it’s really quite a lot better than what most of the world (almost all of the world outside of Europe) experiences.

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
