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

"He was introduced by writer and free speech advocate Douglas Murray, who opined on what Shakespeare can teach us about cancel culture as part of a lecture given in memory of philosopher Sir Roger Scruton."

Ah Douglas Murray must be some great guy.

Wikipedia:

Murray has also written columns for publications such as The Wall Street Journal. He is known for his criticism of immigration and Islam.

Bloody Sunday: Truths, Lies, & thr Saville Inquiry (2011) [note that's an anti-Irish book, nothing to do with Jimmy Saville]

Islamophilia: a Very Metropolitan Malady (2013)

The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam (2017)

The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity (2019)

The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason (2021)
