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

In our terms Voldemort is more like an ethno-nationalist taking advantage of a paralyzed, dying neoliberal structure and how it's already inherently racist. The wizards themselves live in a highly alienated liberal gerontocracy where nothing happens.

The closest thing to leftism is one book where Hermione tries to quite literally organize against actual slavery of elves and the other wizards treat her like a loudmouthed annoyance. Then they tell her elves actually enjoy being enslaved.

House elves enjoy being enslaved, which is why Hermione is annoying and wrong and should shut up.

Harry you've only met two house elves and they were both highly resentful of being enslaved-

Yeah whatever nerd watch me catch the golden snitch with my trustfund broomstick lol does crosschops in midair

I think the Shaun video summed it up best when he said something like "the series frequently threatens to become interesting."

It's just always implying that it could have interesting ideas and complex themes and then it just doesn't.
