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

It was a feature in a British comic called '2,000 A.D.' Most of the features were ultra violent and/or satirical. Dredd is a Judge in Mega City 1, the future version of New York City. Nuclear war has devastated the outside world, and only a few Mega-Cities survive. After the fall of the Constitution, the citizens put the Judges in charge. A Judge can arrest, try, and sentence any lawbreaker. The Judges aren't elected, they self select by picking the best young cadets and training them.
The stories range from straight forward adventure to obvious send ups.
