The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.

I know it has like 3 likes but I've seen so many people with this view, it's insane 'My uncle went to help them as a missionary but they're hopeless LOL aren't you glad to live in America?'

Meanwhile this is what missionaries do in Haiti:

CW s-----l child abuse https://www.parentsformeganslaw.org/missionary-who-admits-to-sexually-abusing-boys-in-haiti-is-sentenced/

And the UN: CW child grooming https://theconversation.com/they-put-a-few-coins-in-your-hands-to-drop-a-baby-in-you-265-stories-of-haitian-children-abandoned-by-un-fathers-114854

And the fact that this person clearly thinks that they're smarter and superior to every Haitian when they don't even understand production. Racism is a disease, instead of trying to find the answer to this contradiction they conclude 'because they're African lol' they genuinely believe the 67 IQ lie.

Having grown up around tons of evangelicals who often said shit like this after their missionary summer trips, hearing this conversation as an adult makes me want to fall facedown and turn into undifferentiated slime, the anger just hits the shutdown threshold instantly

Beyond the ability of most people, they visit the poorest places in the world, the places where human dignity is barely holding together, and instead of having even a taste of an understanding of the misery and injustice of it sink in, they bounce off and double down on their learned ability to dismiss the suffering of their fellow man. It took a lot of time to untangle the bitterness I developed toward these petty fucking emotional weaklings from religious people in general
