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.
You, a loser tankie: The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.
Me, a reasonable centrist: I erase my brain like Harry Dubois once a month. It's smooth as a whistle and very excited to vote for Kamala!
The neocon ideology that paved the bloody road to this war is actually now the established, largely uncontested foreign policy doctrine in most NATO member states, the "once in a century level of political juice" was used to make it not only a bipartisan stance in the US and the UK, but to completely silence all public opposition to it. And the only reason i'm aware of that is that i actually posess some degree of object permanence and am also old enough to remember how this total discursive domination happened a few years later in my country, which wasn't on board with the Iraq war and has been a prime CIA psyop target ever since.
The main learning from the catastrophic outcome in Iraq seems to be that it's more viable to do this shit in the form of proxy wars than to engage directly. But i'm honestly unsure if increasing instability in the Greater Middle East and killing a careful estimate of 3-4 million people during the Wars on Terror is even viewed as a catastrophic outcome in the US or if the regime in D.C. just goes "eh, not as we originally hoped for, but total chaos in that region is acceptable, too".
