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

Some of you didn't spend your childhoods reading dystopian science fiction, and it shows.

Key word here is fiction because it's fucking made up

But also none of the dystopian fiction I read as a child had chanting slogans until you believed them as any sort of a plot point. Like, that just isn't a thing in any of the dystopian fiction I've read, and I've read some amount. I do not know what she's on about here.

She just means newspeak from 1984. But because she doesn't want to say 1984 because she knows she'll be ridiculed for doing so, she attributes it to "dystopian fiction" as a whole.

Wait till Ms. Fartlow finds out what Orwell thought about Jewish people
