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.

From their website:

Our goal is to stand as a direct counterpoint to the nationalism of the alt-right and its corruption of American values by building solidarity, unity, and common defense of the Constitution. We do this by working in conjunction with other civil society organizations and pro-democracy institutions to reinvigorate and strengthen America’s democracy to ensure the efficacy of our elections, guarantee peaceful access to the democratic process, protect communities targeted by the alt-right, and countering misinformation that spreads hate or seeks to undermine the democratic process.

Patriotic colors and imagery have been associated with far-right and fascist groups in recent years, as they peddle their fake patriotism and toxic nationalism. It is the stance of the American Iron Front that they have stolen these colors and imagery from the American people, and have no right to use them.

By using these colors and imagery, the AIF seeks to reclaim this imagery for the American people, and to disassociate it from our opponents.

We know that returning this imagery to the American people will take time, as its association is firmly entrenched with our opponents. But the American people deserve to have their nation's colors and imagery associated not with vile hate, toxic nationalism and evil, but with Liberty, Equality, Freedom and Democracy.

The great American Experiment was built by people of many creeds, races, sexualities, genders, and identities. We at the AIF believe our greatest asset in safeguarding our democracy is the diversity and inclusivity of the people of this country. Its future rests with We the People.

This will never get off the ground if only because the "American Iron Front" sounds extremely fascist.

E: Lmao just realized this is MAGALiberalism

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Jup- they want to be Republicans and Chauvinistic so bad- so they invent shit to do MAGA behavior without a guilty conscience.

Huh, we're tough as Iron and we're Guarding traditional American values, against both conservatism, AND judo-bolshivism.

What if we called ourselves the Iron Guard?

Even got a cool symbol and everything.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

judo-bolshivism.

Marxism-Leninism with grappling characteristics

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

Not good, not evil, but a secret third thing

Being absolutely dogshit

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

It's so funny to me that the centrist liberals can see the ground collapsing beneath them, but instead of spending any money on higher wages or building more housing, or doing anything at all to improve material conditions, they're going with this pointless bullshit.

Liberalism hasn't been a fighting religion for nearly a century now. No one is ever going to be inspired to fight for the collapsing status quo and the "common defense of the Constitution" (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean) when half the country thinks the Feds are building FEMA death camps, and the other half recognizes the supreme court as an active threat that needs to be dismantled.

And like before, they won't oppose fascism as long as communists are also opposing fascism. Instead they will do nothing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

thats not fair, they might do like their progenitors in Germany and join forces with the fascists to kill the communists as a 'greater threat to democracy,' before being promptly shot by the fascists themselves afterward all the while being like surprised-pika

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Watch out, the patriots are in control.

Technically true as long as you don't care that some of them were slightly less equal than others.

And wasn't the original Iron Front liberals' answer to Antifa too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Ya they were founded to literally fight antifa

There is a timeline where MAGA social democracy is the political platform of the Republican Party. This shit plus MAGA communists are this timeline's version of MAGA social democracy.

But the American people deserve to have their nation's colors and imagery associated not with vile hate, toxic nationalism and evil, but with Liberty, Equality, Freedom and Democracy.

About 400 years too late, settlers.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

They watched a rando breadtube Video about the iron front (which failed) and the reichsbanner schwarz-rot-gold (which also failed) and due to anticommunist brainworms they are going to imitate the failed failure just to fail?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

eugh. that logo. literally marvel-brained. these nerds. deeply unserious

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

All the more proof that Liberalism is merely the moderate wing of Fascism.
