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

Folks will shit on Animal Farm night and day, but its crazy that you can read an allegorical depiction of the Holodomor in a children's anti-communist parable from the 1940s that is more accurate than 95% of western straight-laced high school / college history accounts.
i never bothered with animal farm. it has a famine in it?
Animal farm is really only interesting if you know about all of the obscure Trotskyist critiques of the USSR that informed that book.
It has the pigs doing a communist revolution against farmers than making everything way better. This is supposed to prove communism bad for some reason. There is a plot twist where the communist pigs start copying the capitlaist farmers and everything gets much worse again. This again is supposed to prove comunism bad.
