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

If Tarantino doesn’t make a movie about him before retiring and dying then he deserves to get his corpse’s ass kicked

And don’t make John Brown an irrational religious zealot or mentally insane either, which are the common depictions of him in media. He was religious, but it was not irrational religious zealotry that fueled him but a great Christlike love and compassion and understanding. If you read his life accounts he was greatly admired by the communities he was a part of and he also treated Native Americans very well.

I believe one time a white supremacist possy tried to round up some native Americans nearby and tried to recruit John and his sons, and he told them he would rather form a possy against the white supremacists and drove them off his territory

There was a show called The Good Lord Bird that seemed good but I've never watched it to confirm

It looks amazing from the clips, but I"m rusty on torrenting shit these days.

Ethan Hawke starred as John Brown in Good Lord Bird pretty recently so I doubt Tarantino will make a John Brown flick. Also Tarantino has never actually made a historical film where the main characters are real historical figures. He has stuff like Inglourious Basterds where Hitler gets killed, but none of the main characters in that movie were real.

Brown wins harpers ferry, starts great southern BBQ a decade before Sherman.
