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.

There is something demonic about this style of LinkedIn paragraph segmentation.

It is meant to make a text punchy and dramatic. It aims to imbue every sentence with gravitas and a deep, resonant wisdom.

I find it repulsive.

While people believe it makes for a better, more compelling text, it is in fact only a subterfuge to make a liberal's shallow and inhumane worldview sound like something it is not.

It makes me want to punch whoever is writing like this.

You are not wise, you are not changing the reader's perspective on the world and this text is only more impactful insofar as it makes you sound pretentious, pedantic and self-important.

Stop doing this. I beg you.

I think it's just how people who don't read anything other than self-help drivel think writing is supposed to sound. You're not laying out a coherent train of thought or narrative, you're generating aphorisms.
