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'm having difficulty accepting this could be real. How could someone miss obvious cues for 40 years and then magically find understanding, then have the humility to ask his online brothers for understanding before looking online for reviews.
Maybe I'm cynical. I just don't see it
I wish it was a bit too, but the Reddit profile has way too much content over several years that's consistent with his views. Of course he could just be very dedicated.
This is Gen-X media literacy excellence
This could be a bit. It could not be a bit. It could be someone who saw other people doing a bit without understanding it was a bit. It could be a bit hidden within other bits
The Occluded Bit
When I was reading it as a lad I always thought it was a parody of American culture, policy and law enforcement. A true sci-fi western. Substitute Judge for Marshall, guns with the right bullets solve everything and really long sentences or death fix all the problems of the society.
The joke being that Dredd never ever has any real impact on the society.
Oh and Tharg's Future Shocks did it way before and better than Black Mirror!
This has to be a bit. This has to be a bit. Someone please tell me this is a bit
I mean, this person is showing a slight bit of personal growth so this in an improvment.
Can someone give me a quick run down on what Judge Dredd is? I understand the irony as a literary device in that they're likely a bad guy and a personification of some flaw in the justice system.
I've never seen it either but I'm going to say it's the cop version to Starship Troopers military parody.
Only if Starship Troopers were cranked up to 11.
Until talking about Star Wars there's not really anything dunk-worthy, and at that point it's just poor media literacy. It doesn't get bad until BLM. They're asking their question politely, they're not being defensive, they're open to the thought they might be wrong and they explain their thought process.
Then they complain about BLM 
but it seems like it's the typical type "enlightened" centrist, except it seems like they're at least asking questions instead of just bloviating about how clever they are and they're honest about being conservatives.
It's funny because this person is definitely a "the curtains are just blue" kind of person and yet if they actually applied that logic to Judge Dredd or The Empire, it'd be something like "the Judges are just fascists" or "the Empire are just Nazis". They basically admit it in that second block, they just didn't think that was a bad thing.
These people need to be bullied into making sense ideologically... wait they already make sense, its just fascist.
Wait, was Henry Potter the bad guy in, "It's a Wonderful Life"?
how does one even come to the conclusion that the planet-destroying opressive Empire is the good faction in Star Wars? like, at what point is there any scene that presents it as anything else than a genocidal regime? I know that conservatives usually aren’t the most media-literate people but I still can’t wrap my head around that
You have to start from the idea that genocide is a good thing.
