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.

Do I come off as someone who uses insults reflexively? I'm not just 'coming up with insults.' I'm really trying to express in words the exact problem I have with that person. niko-concern

This is a problem I have. ~~I have a friend~~ There is a lib in my life (who at one point was very important to me) who is very much "I believe we can rationally debate these points and if you'll just listen to my reasoning instead of resorting to insults you'll understand where I'm coming from" and I'm like "I am not resorting to insults, I am insulting you. I am not engaging in a debate, I'm telling you you are being a shitty person and that I do not want to be around you because you are being a shitty person. Go have your shitty opinions somewhere else."

Condemnation takes less energy than debate frankly; especially when you know a cracker's about to bloviate, pontificate, and otherwise perform sophist bullshit for 20 minutes while not letting you get a word in edgewise.
