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 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 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'm having difficulty accepting this could be real. How could someone miss obvious cues for 40 years and then magically find understanding, then have the humility to ask his online brothers for understanding before looking online for reviews.
Maybe I'm cynical. I just don't see it
I wish it was a bit too, but the Reddit profile has way too much content over several years that's consistent with his views. Of course he could just be very dedicated.
This could be a bit. It could not be a bit. It could be someone who saw other people doing a bit without understanding it was a bit. It could be a bit hidden within other bits
This is the guy who would sold Jews hiding in his neighbours cellar to gestapo and then felt fully righteous about that.
Jebany szmalcownik.
The type of lib who would have convinced themselves that anyone arrested by the nazis deserved it and brought it on themselves.
When I was reading it as a lad I always thought it was a parody of American culture, policy and law enforcement. A true sci-fi western. Substitute Judge for Marshall, guns with the right bullets solve everything and really long sentences or death fix all the problems of the society.
The joke being that Dredd never ever has any real impact on the society.
Oh and Tharg's Future Shocks did it way before and better than Black Mirror!
This has to be a bit. This has to be a bit. Someone please tell me this is a bit
I mean, this person is showing a slight bit of personal growth so this in an improvment.
It's funny because this person is definitely a "the curtains are just blue" kind of person and yet if they actually applied that logic to Judge Dredd or The Empire, it'd be something like "the Judges are just fascists" or "the Empire are just Nazis". They basically admit it in that second block, they just didn't think that was a bad thing.
Can someone give me a quick run down on what Judge Dredd is? I understand the irony as a literary device in that they're likely a bad guy and a personification of some flaw in the justice system.
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.
I've never seen it either but I'm going to say it's the cop version to Starship Troopers military parody.
Only if Starship Troopers were cranked up to 11.
It was a satirical, originally underground (I think) comic book series made in the UK during the Thatcher years. In the comic, Judges in the future dystopian society are cop/judge/executioner all rolled into one. The stories have a lot of ultra-violence and the judges are often portrayed as corrupt, though Judge Dredd himself is generally a incorruptible paragon who believes fully in the system, despite how horrific it is.
Much like early 40k, the satire goes over the heads of CHUDs who see the ultraviolence and extreme police overreach and just think "Fuck yeah! So cool!" and don't really look at the deeper themes at all.
Until talking about Star Wars there's not really anything dunk-worthy, and at that point it's just poor media literacy. It doesn't get bad until BLM. They're asking their question politely, they're not being defensive, they're open to the thought they might be wrong and they explain their thought process.
Then they complain about BLM 
but it seems like it's the typical type "enlightened" centrist, except it seems like they're at least asking questions instead of just bloviating about how clever they are and they're honest about being conservatives.
Wait, was Henry Potter the bad guy in, "It's a Wonderful Life"?
