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.

No one get mad at me.

But politics is morality and morality is politics. This is still doing that thing where it treats politics as some team sport lower on a hierarchy of needs below morality.

Edit - also super weird when Metal Injection is way more Rittenhouse/right-leaning than Metalsucks in this instance when I thought they were owned/run by the same company/group/person.

both-sides

(note: I know nothing about the ownership and proprietorship of either of these websites)

Also politics and morality are objectively two distinct things but they heavily dialectically interact and inform. Morality is an idealism, politics is a materialism, in the dialectical relationship that exists in the interdependent unity-of-opposites of ideas and substance (in its theory and action). Morality can also be personal as much as it can be societal and communal. It's an idealism, it's subjective. Politics is the objective relationships of power between people. One's morality might inform how they engage with politics, and how political circumstances affect them, hence the dialectical relationship; but it remains its own subjectivity in relation to material politics. This isn't to say morality isn't important for an individual to cultivate, Lenin wrote (or Krupskaya relayed) his thoughts on Communist Morality. Because it is an impulse and framework within peoples ideals which can inform or impel them to take part in great (or terrible) things. But they are distinct, morality and politics.
