To the capitalist, every luxury of the worker seems to be reprehensible, and everything that goes beyond the most abstract need – be it in the realm of passive enjoyment, or a manifestation of activity – seems to him a luxury.

Just cut out your daily Starbucks and you’ll have $1400 in 9 months.

If women can wait 9 months to have a baby, I think you can wait 9 months for a stimulus check. And like the baby, you’ll have made this one on your own. #girlboss

“Turn everything you enjoy into an attempt to make profit” and all this hustle is such an insidious way to keep people busy while sucking all joy out of the little time we are allowed to be free from work.

Like for real…the whole point of a hobby is that your livelihood doesn’t depend on it. No matter what it is: once you start trying to make a living or supplemental income off of it your entire approach to it has to change at some point because you’re beholden to the market and/or your patrons.

To be an agent, sure. But have you considered being an informant, a private mercenary, or a witless lackey instead?

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
