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.

And making comparison between something necessary for the country to function (income tax) to something that is a waste of resources (the MIC) is ridiculous.

I don't think it's that ridiculous. In order for any country state to exist and maintain power, they need some sort of military force to defend what they claim is their border.

Also, the state of Israel has been attacking and terrorizing Palestinians since it's introduction post WW2. And just like the USA, it only exists because it had/has a powerful military.

That and genocide of course.

Yea, the military should be as small as possible while maintaing national security. US MIC is more about transferring public wealth (and resources) to the top 1% and less about protecting US borders or even US interests abroad.

Tax is requirement for any state, building weapons for MIC profits to be sent to some "foreign" (whether Israel can even be considered foreign to the US idk) country isn't.

If US wants to claim its "aid" to Israel is for US national interests and not MIC interests, then it must get rid of the private sector from the defense industry. It doesn't mean US wouldn't support Israel's genocide, just that MIC won't profit.

Crazy how defending our borders involves demolishing countries in every corner of the globe. It's almost as if there's an ulterior motive that has nothing to do with protecting our citizens. thonk
