The hunger games books are better than the films. And they describe the world a lot more than the films show. This is normal, of course. But in this case, the books describe the rock bottom material conditions of people in the hinterlands. The unbelievable wealth of the capital is as stark of contrast as possible. You can see it in the film, but it’s not spelled out. The hunger games world is what we have now, but more extreme. It’s resource extraction and brutal poverty where katniss is from, with basically 1800s technology. Within the walled city, it’s the future.

The film left out so many details that if I wasn’t watching it with someone who had actually read the book, most of it would have gone over my head.

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
