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

Two top comments is how deep I'll let myself go, and both of them mention reading Dune, one of them as theory. Liberal injokes are lame.
I'm still not sure if those top two comments are leftists making fun of them or not
That whole sub seems like some elaborate bit tbh
It was founded by some think tank originally, so I doubt it.
I'm aware, but it's so monumentally dogshit that it still comes off as a joke lmao
They love to claim it's a joke sub, while also being proud of the neoliberalism ideals so who knows
They read like it, but knowing that sub? I doubt it.
I don't get it, Dune is a critique of everything they stand for.
Are the libs irony poisoned too, or just media illiterate?
I think that it’s a “Bro it’s just a book/movie bro. Don’t take it seriously bro,” type of joke. See if you analysis media critically you’re a real nerd, just as dweeby as those leftists telling you to read theory. Don’t they get that theory is just books?
Dune is my favorite book of all time but some very credulous bazingas (and reactionary fash) get the worst possible conclusions from it.
