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

This is the epitome of "right-thinking" and "respectability."

The two authors have one crucial thing in common: they dare to resist the ‘prevailing orthodoxy’ of ‘right-thinking people’

It is interesting that the people in power who print magazines and set school curriculums (among other related things) think they're an edgy minority voice fighting against orthodoxy rather than just reproducing the conditions for capitalism and nationalism. I read 1984 like... 3 times for school and animal farm at least once.

They're a minority alright... We outnumber them...
