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.

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.

For those who don’t remember, Rittenhouse is a divisive figure who is held up as a hero in right-wing circles after a 2020 incident where he drove to Kenosha, WI to protect local businesses

Disgusting article.

Yeah, the article itself sucks ass, I probably should've linked a better one, I just grabbed this quickly.

they ended up on the same bill as alt-right broke-ass poster boy and murderer Kyle Rittenhouse.

I have to admit, it’s a bit odd to hear a hardcore band saying that they simply don’t get involved in politics, especially one that says that they’re dedicated to “the culture of hardcore.” Hardcore comes from punk, punk is far-left, end of discussion. But even putting that aside, at least it’s good to hear that someone acknowledges that being opposed to the right-wing canonization of Kyle Rittenhouse isn’t politics, it’s just morality.

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.
