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

What is wild to me is that it is rarely the chanting crowds that are supposed to be 'wrong' in your average dystopia sci-fi novel. Only 1984 has that, and they are mandatory rallies in movie theatres, the "Hour of Hate" by the state, not spontaneous protests by the people.

Just say, "Some people here haven't read 1984 in high school and it shows." we know that's what you actually mean.

Oh fuck, oh no, I forgot the party terminology.

Also unless I'm misremembering there's no movie theater involved. There are screens everywhere and the two minutes hate just shows up in the middle of your workday or whatever and you drop everything to take part and then go back to business as usual

Oh you are absolutely right. I think I am literally thinking of a commercial.
