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

Just seems weird to me that they'd make him competent rather than a fool

that's the point of Dredd - he's an immovable force in a world that is always changing - 2/3 of MC1 was destroyed in The Apocalypse War (maybe the best Dredd story of all time, with The Small House being a close second) and while the system utterly collapsed he pulled everything back from the brink. Although in later years, as Dredd has grown older, the storylines have gave him a lot more depth and perspective - recent events caused him to seriously question the system he spent an entire lifetime protecting and it's a theme that crops up now and then in subsequent story arcs proving him to be way more than the Future Dirty Harry he was initially created and satirised as.
