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 expect a complete apology, a clearing of my name and censure against my attacker and abuser. Those involved shamed themselves with their actions. You have an opportunity to make amends and undo that injustice you’ve inflicted.

I run a large ML forum with weekly views of tens of thousands and I recognise exactly the temptations you’ve allowed yourselves to succumb to of abusing your power for a false sense of righteousness based on petty bullying and unfair treatment. I know that I’m not the only one who’s been a victim of this on lemmygrad.

The contributors to this forum deserve better moderation and better judgement from the admins in general. The current process of banning people without right of reply is abusive and dishonourable. That can be a separate discussion.

I'd rather take the sophist decentering of truth over Platonism though. Platonism and it's consequences have been so corrosive, ~~allowing~~ pretending to access to an ordering truth that this allows for systemic oppression (e.g. man is in the image of God therefore superior logics).

We can never escape the sophists because unfortunately their radical critique of truth in language is the case. You can always make evil seem like good and vise versa (never mind good and evil are rhetorically - and materially - determined concepts). Thus there's no shame in "fighting dirty" as it were or, even more aptly, using force instead of rhetoric when necessary.

Edit: tl;dr: who cares who wins debates when you have a ban hammer.

I didn't say I was a fan of Platonism, either.

It's a false dichotomy, like having to choose between "tradcaths" and Reddit New Atheists.
