The Dredge Tank

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.

malicious hexbears are taking advantage of people's trauma to turn them against the west folks (and judging by the recent survey, turning them trans too? kyle )

yeah goat, we could tell

There's a special kind of pathetic liberal that already comes with a pre-scratched mask.

This user's post is so wrong.

  1. First accusation is that it's more radical and mean than CTH was. I don't agree, CTH was fucking nuts at times. They're presenting it like it was a socdem space and this has gone way further left than it but you're talking about the subreddit that was banned for saying slavers should be killed and that spez is a slaver lmao. The sub practically went out of its way to be edgy and get banned. Moderation here is way tamer and less crazy.
  2. Second accusation is that the site "dwindled" from any users to few. This ain't true either, hexbear is more active now than it has been.
  3. There was never any divide over Russia-Ukraine. This user is literally making it up. There's definitely never been cheering over killing of civilians, you lying neoliberal fuckhead. Treating war like a football game? Projection.
  4. "I went to therapy and it saved me" lmao libs literally always resort to "go to therapy" for fucking everything. Biggest giveaway this is a neoliberal larping.
  5. "Now I look back on my several years as a hexbear user" you're absolutely full of shit mate.

This is a neoliberal that's skimmed the place a few times. Nothing more.

I started as alt-right, realised I actually like queerness. Then I went communist, realised murder is childish and how much I was being played and then decided to do my own thing.

Literally nobody in the left WANTS murder. We're just not naive enough to think that the transition of power will ever be allowed to be peaceful. We'd love that, frankly, but every time that's been tried it has resulted in millions of communists being murdered without any means to defend themselves. The means to defend ourselves are necessary and we expect violence to be necessary because the ruling class will not allow a peaceful transition. That's NOT being pleased with the idea of murder at all. It's just understanding that peaceful revolution is not really allowed for what we want.

Was it alt-right or communism for you?

I started as alt-right, realised I actually like queerness. Then I went communist, realised murder is childish and how much I was being played and then decided to do my own thing.

So they started with embracing hate, then embraced communist aesthetics (presumably to be edgy while not understanding the communist analysis), and then finally, they decided that the status quo where murder happens conveniently mostly out of sight of the imperial cores and everything stays the same is best, because all those people resisting the empire are upset for (some reason)?

...the OP called murder childish? i literally did not read any of the surrounding comments this person made in the thread that is basically as dumb as the entire paragraph of bullshit spewed out preceding it

  1. I love my trans comrades
  2. RIP bozo, enjoy your reindoctrination into capitalist realism via your brainwormed therapist, and do all young people a favor by never speaking in their presence again

Right? Like no one is telling you that you have to wreck your mental health by focusing all your energy into how fucked we are but dont live in delusion. Especially when younger people are going to face the consequences.

radicalizing the youth

The only proper ideology for youth is self-congratulatory atomized nihilistic selfishness, where identity is purchased on a subscription basis one consumer product and one Twitter account flair emoji at a time. smuglord

Yeah hexbear should be more like the rest of the internet where russians, africans, chinese or anyone with a bit of melanin be subject to blood poison rhethoric and the suggestion of nuking undesirable countries are seen as a joke. And genocide is justified because "they were not angels".

of course you dont feel like you imported a sense of community, you guys directly imported as much of reddit culture as you could, including the fearmongering over tankies

If you're younger on this site:

STOP liking isntrael

STOP liking porky-happy

DO NOT believe in the red-brown alliance frothingfash

AND DO upbear my posts stalin-approval

This isn't 84 , this is 1985. This is forward.

Tbh Ive seen a lot of former chapos/dirtbag lefties go the lib social dem route. I cant imagine why besides some sort of copium to avoid realizing just how fucked everything is right now.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Caring about other people and being willing to make sacrifices of material comfort for their sake scares a lot of fairweather leftists into being succdems. They dream of magical northern European paradises that make the cruelty invisible and distant.

It's all treatbrain. The Westoid brainpan cannot cope with the idea that avoiding annihilation might require living near a brown person and eating more beans.

150-200 users

Huh you don't say?

So that was a fuckin lie.

Pretty sure this is one of the most active instances in the entire fediverse despite these nerds trying to scare people away from us through unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander.

the number of active users dwindled down to around 150-200

Hexbear is the Yan’an of r/chapotraphouse’s Long March apparently.

Only a Dunbar's Number worth of active users. Damn, I bet they all know each other and have some degree of social intimacy, unlike us cool dudes in Lemmy who shout endlessly into the void of anonymity.

The real trick is to not take any online community top seriously, whether you like it or hate it.

Failing that, don't post.

I have a lot of criticisms that I both do and don't share regarding this shithole website, which I have been on since day one (not this account), but not once have I seen people cheer for the deaths of Ukrainian civilians. Off-duty soldiers? Yeah, probably, but those are still soldiers.

As a Hexbear who is rapidly approaching 30 (oh god oh god), I agree with them and think we should ban any poster under the age of 18 sorry Blake

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 days ago (1 children)

i know this is a joke but I'm glad hexbear actually takes underage comrades seriously, our societies are extremely ageist and i think it's a good way of combating that.
