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

Imagine Call of Solidarity 4 set in like 1959. After years of struggle you finally storm 10 Downing Street and drag Churchill (he's been the war-time leader for the duration of European Liberation Wars, fighting against the USSR through reactionary proxies throughout Europe) out of there kicking and screaming. He asks for his cigars. You hand him a Cuban. He tries to give a rousing speech to cement his final moments in the history books, but everyone just laughs at him until he has a stroke and dies.

Y’know what, what’s stopping us from doing this now? And honestly, the game should even be called Call of Solidarity (Comradeship?) 4. Make it out to be like an alternative-reality game. As in it came out of a portal to an alternative-reality, not that it’s set in an alternative reality.
