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's a good explanation. But why are chuds so stuck in the past? Why can't they move on and just watch something that makes them happy?

I think maybe nothing could make them happy?

Spitballing here

Because then they have to accept the loss and temporality of that feeling and time in their life and that’s a scary/depressing thought for some people.

There are a lot of people that do not have an internal monologue going, and thus do not ever really do introspection unless prompted. This isn't just a chud phenomena, liberals and leftist do it to (though leftists far less ime, as to become a leftist in the U.S. usually requires a lot of introspection). They don't move on because it doesn't occur to them that they should move on. Hell at this point they are probably more focused on the drama around the media than the media itself. They are consuming more media about media, than primary media.
