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.

That is a thorny question

I believe it's a sum of multiple reasons

First,the people who were foolishly led into thinking that capitalism would be better didn't want to admit they were wrong and dug their heels in and attributed every failure to the nebulous "legacy of communism"

Second,the latent reactionary sentiments

Third,the inferiority complex we all seem to have,this desire to join the ranks of the West in the vain hope we get a fraction of their prosperity

And fourth,you have to understand,when I say the history was rewritten by gusanos and revisionist traitors,it was rewritten.30 years have gone by since Communism fell,and now all the middle aged people and the young adults were taught a twisted version of history and it's been turbocharged by the unsatisfactory development brought by capitalism and the poverty that still exists

As for why the Baltics and Poland are the worst,I can't say,since Romania had different conditions,but my thinking is that they got the somewhat less bad deal and are more integrated than the rest of the former Warsaw Pact,same goes for Czechia

Not only was the Eastern Bloc looted,but it's very ideological base was uprooted and it's very society shattered and then remoulded through heavy US and EU interference to become the perfect vassal region
