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 [email protected]

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's also sicko-wistful

They make it sound more based than it was, although there were some pretty awesome moments. It's too bad every last slaver wasn't executed and their property redistributed to the freed slaves and landless whites. If only John Brown was president during reconstruction, that's basically the only way we would have gotten the good ending

It's crazy to me that most depictions of John Brown are negative; and liberals are too scared to make a movie depicting him as a valiant hero because they're worried about what their fellow reactionaries will think.

Reactionaries though when the Nat Turner movie comes out be like 'stahp! He was brutal! He killed civvies!', but when a movie comes out romanticizing the troops in wars that saw massive civilian casualties like Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc. be like 'For the Imperium! Cogax Lex Nostra or whatever latin stuff idk!'
