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

One of my lib friends is super against communism and his favorite show is Deep Space 9. He accidentally got an Engles quote tattooed on his arm because of the show. He thinks the episode "Past Tense" is a warning about why we shouldn't build housing for poor people.
that's hilarious. which quote? do you think if he knew its origin he'd get it lasered off?
Of course politics can add authenticity to a narrative. Because it helps connect the dots in your head to current things you are experiencing. If politics didn't add anything it wouldn't resonate with the audience and authors wouldn't bother with it.
But even that analysis is a bridge too far for the treat hogs.
