Me, five hours into explaining what a film is, the existence of Hollywood, the existence of a country over the sea called 'America', the internet and what woke means: "ok so basically, in the year of our lord two thousand and fourteen there was this thing called 'Gamer Gate' and single men who couldn't have sex would harass women for criticising video games"

I cannot assert how correct this is, I basically just used Wiktionary and Old English Wikipedia to find all the wordsYea, in the year 1492 the sailor Christopher Columbus discovered the land that in my tide we name America,— there lived and still live many a manifold nation, their name to thee is Scrælings,— and Columbus' men and other men of pale skin from thy country slayed many a Scræling or made thralls of them, and on America's land the men of pale skin wrought their own commonwealths.— And thereof, in one commonwealth, California, in the city Hollywood, since the year 1900, men have wrought fictional tales, that we can see and hear from the great walls of our gathering-halls and from magic-windows in all houses.— With these windows too we can speak with men from afar.— And men who fight against the injustices of the commonwealths in my tide we name "woke"; those who love these injustices, and hate women, badlings, scrælings, and dark skin, we name "chuds";— and chuds with magic-windows lie that woke with fictional tales spreadeth harmful beliefs.— Lo, the truth is that chuds do what they accuse of others!

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
