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.

Incredibly evil racism, the liberal mask is shattered right now, and what's beneath is disgusting
I know, and I agree. I can see that now, far clearer than before, this space has been very helpful for me personally in killing the inner cracker and inner liberal I have, along with dating my fiancé, a woman of color. Every day that passes, every new bit of disgusting history I read, hammers in just how fucking ignorant I was and still am, coasting on a worldview I percieved as "normal."
Honestly, my fiancé was the biggest part of this process, she has never been afraid of telling me when I was ignorant or privledged. I love her dearly, without her I'd likely be far more ignorant. Every
that looks at us with disdain simply for holding hands in public boils my blood, and I know that that's only a microscopic fraction of what she has had to deal with, and others too.
I dunno, this was a bit of a ramble. I try to call out
activities when I can and stress the importance of intersectionality, getting libs and "leftists" to read decolonial and anti-settler theory to try to set things on a better path with these fuckers.
I hear you. I even made a comment in the general thread a while ago about how I really need to shut the fuck up and listen more. I'm not trying to pull a "I'm one of the good ones, praise me
" bullshit common on the left and in libs alike. I have no right to tell you what to think or feel, even if I personally must believe that we can de-cracker white people by tearing from under us the materialist base that leads to the cracker superstructure, that doesn't mean I can just say "you're wrong" for what you believe based on your lived experience on the opposite end of that spectrum.
I normally try to back you up when I can because you cede no ground, it's largely why I am (still in the early parts, life is personally wild right now) reading Settlers. I have a very personal need to hope that I can at least partially redeem other white people, because if I can't, then I can't redeem myself even partially. It's a selfish, internal reason. If my fiancé and I ever have kids, they will be half-white, half-POC. They will face their own struggles accordingly. Even if we don't have kids, I dearly love my fiancé, and need to do my damndest to make this world a safer and more just place for her.
I appreciate your words, and understand your viewpoint, I just want to stress that the largest factor in my viewpoint is becoming personally involved. I don't know how to truly translate that for people who aren't. I was kind of hoping each of the communities for marginalized people, like em_poc, could do the same as womenby with posting basic theory to emphasize de-colonialism and anti-white supremacy, like they did with adding The Gender Accelerationist Manifesto.
Thanks for listening to my ramble! And yes, my fiancé is amazing.
I think so too (obviously), but I shouldn't be the one to push for it, nor do I think I am a good person to come up with a good list. I think the results of the recent misogyny "struggle sesh" and subsequent purges and introduction of theory as a strong push from the moderators and admins can be carried over to other communities. There are a lot of new leftists that can be guided that otherwise may just stick to Marx/Engels/Lenin or Kropotkin/Goldman etc in ways that personally benefit themselves, when intersectionality in my opinion will be the foundation of any truly successful leftist movement, especially in the Imperial Core.
