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 [email protected]
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

We employed a helper
hasn't paid 50% of what she owes
wtf, she's paying to be your slave?
Literally just indentured servitude.
They have nozick brain, they think anything goes so long as there's a signed contract.
Her passports with us
My mans just admitted to Human Trafficking on reddit.
wtf is up with Singapore, I know it's a capitalist hellhole, but I read so many stories of rich assholes abusing their domestic workers, similar to Gulf Monarchies.
Similar to gulf monarchies, migrant workers have zero rights, cant unionise in anyway and are subjected to the whim of their employers
I’ve heard it described as a neolib fantasy. Literally hell
everywhere is the neolib fantasy
From the comments:
I can. Just look at this thread. There's dozens of people defending the practice, and tons more upvoting them. Saying that any dissenters are "just foreigners who don't understand Singaporean culture". Newsflash: You don't get to claim slavery as "just part of your culture" and be shielded from criticism.
Glaring right the fuck at the United States prison system :guts-rage:
i mean, being a white supremacist police state is part of our culture
Unironically owning slaves is Amerikkkan culture.
slavery, genocide, capitalism, shitty music, and bland food.
Hey now, that's not fair. The US has produced some genuinely great music.
i meant white american culture. doesn't seem right to give the dominant culture credit for things oppressed people create when subject to it.
Ah fair point yeah.
