Okay, so I read the sample and this shit is hilarious

One of the main characters is basically Jordan Peterson, a college professor who teaches a class called Western Civilization, a class which was jeopardized by the EVIL SJWS WHO HATE WESTERN CIVILIZATION and he had to fight to get it reinstated

The book uses this class as an excuse to give him a John Galt speech about the evils of collectivism, in which he drops the phrase "cultural Marxism," claims that communism killed 150 million people, claims that "western civilization" freed the world from slavery and tyranny because it changes based on free speech and criticism instead of violence, tells his students he's going to make them read 1984 and Animal Farm, and says that the college will "indoctrinate [them] to hate [their] parents, Western culture, and America"

His counterargument to the claim that the American Revolution was fought to protect the slave rights of landholders consists, in its entirety, of "Yeah, right"

Another main character is a freshman new to the college and holy shit the author takes the opportunity to get shots in at absolutely everything he has a grievance with. In the span of a single scene, he snipes at racial minorities, LGBT people, women who support abortion, pro-Palestine activists (they have a banner that calls Israel an apartheid Nazi state, which A. based and B. would get those students censured and blacklisted in any real college if recent events are any indication), people who give their pronouns, and DEI

Actual line from this section: "He hoped he could get away with abbreviating it all to just LGBTQ+ without getting attacked."

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
