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.

Hot take: I'm tired of people blaming this on "lack of media literacy", I don't think this has anything to do with media literacy. I think the twerps who make this are more self aware than we realize and get this shit is sorta stupid and cringe but it's ammo that supports their side in the culture war and they're posting it anonymously anyway so they churn it out. I think they're totally capable, in terms of their education and intellect, to have more literate understanding of media, they're just not interested in it.

I honestly think dumbass creeps like this will always exist, even under FALGSC or whatever, no amount of education is gonna snap them out of it. The real solution is to marginalize them. Bully them, censor them, create some limited amount of slop for them and try and do everything to encourage them to just spend all day guzzling their slop alone in their commie bloc apartment away from all the decent members of society.

Yeah you're right about my wording, I couldn't think of a better catch-all term for "chuds refusing to engage with AND actively rewriting the material provided". Grifters are a massive influence in the space along with blatant fascist recruiters ala Bannon's 4ch campaign, and it's depressing how well the OP works on swaths of extremely online young men
