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

:yea:
"Why don't the homos want me to hurl the same old long debunked bullshit at them? This is literally fahrenheit 1984!"
I was right for thinking that book sucked and was dumb :galaxy-brain:
They're literally like "oh the reason we burn all the books is because the Jews didn't like this one book that said they should be exterminated and the blacks didn't like this book that said they had inferior skull shapes, so one thing led to another and now it's illegal to think." Like what? Dude??
Every Sci-Fi author is either like a right wing asshole or all out socialist. there's never any inbetween
Margaret Atwood? She's a kind of goofy centrist, if her works count as scifi.
In some cases they’re socialist assholes
I'll admit to loving Bradbury's fiction, but Fahrenheit 451 is the book chuds ought to cite instead of 1984. Like it's right there in the text that the book-burning dystopia came about not because the state thought literature posed a threat, but because citizen groups had moral objections to the content of books.
(I know it's a moot point because they haven't read either book, but whatever)
Shit, I thought he was one of the good ones. Turns out I was incredibly incorrect.
