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

That's generally when I stress that capitalism has no room for morality, that capitalism and morals aren't simply ideologically opposed, but are actually mechanically incompatible. "And what happens to those good, socially responsible girlbosses when they go up against the ruthless crony capitalists? They adapt or die"
Simply put, whatever a system incentivizes, is what people are going to do. No amount of morality is going to overwrite the profit and growth motive. Morals either get tossed to the wayside or, more likely, the concept of what is moral gets reformed in the likeness of the system.
