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

I haven't seen so much effort put into a set in years. This would decent if it wasn't so damn propogandistic. Of course the message is "communism hates science".

From the Netflix science-fiction series Three Body Problem

his "reflections" to a goofy theory about universally psychotic space civilizations

The author himself pointed out that the humans in Three Body more closely resemble Native Americans than China in that they were themselves multiple competing peoples facing total genocide. Compared to real life western colonialism the Trisolarians are far less genocidal. People point out that in the books when all of humanity is forced to live in Australia that the resulting population density would be lower than the current population density in the Gaza strip. The Trisolarians at least allowed humanity to continue to exist out of "an appreciation for human culture", a mercy that does not seem to have been extended to most Native American groups.
