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

I might have egg on my face here, but was Demolition man satire?

Not really

The OG writer was a boot boy who basically has only written for cop tv shows, the guy who rewrote the script claimed it was apolitical and said it was not trying to say anything about "political correctness."

Kind of, like it was definitely supposed to be a commentary on society, but I can't really remember how well it committed to anything.

I figured it was libertarian madman ravings, its primary stance seemed to be anti-PC to me

I mostly laughed at it whole watching

You're probably right. ngl, it's been a while and I've apparently combined some of it with Dredd in my head. So I'm probably not the best person to ask about it. I did watch They Live! a few months ago and can definitely recommend that.
