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.

Fucking tourists.
My favourite "civ is woke now" argument is that district placement emphasizes the local geography's influence on your civilization, which is marxist and woke. And like... how the fuck were you playing civ before? Even without civ VI forcing you to be more mindful of it geography is obviously always huge in a 4X. It's literally the first 3 Xs! And it's the 4th X in any game with remotely interesting combat.
Could you help me try to understand how district placement emphasizing the local geography's influence on a civilization is somehow woke? I can't make the connection at all. If you've seen that take, could you elaborate?
They think the idea that geography and/or climate can shape a civilization is woke. Their idea is that civilizations and culture are something that I guess exists a priori as "good" or "bad", and "developed" or "undeveloped". The very idea that a bad crop yield or lack of local resources can shape how a society develops apparently contradicts with the reactionary worldview.
What the fuck do they think shapes a civilization? Some magically scarce yet potentially infinite "willpower" resource? Or is it calipers time and "build pyramids" is just in the Egyptian genes (or aliens, if they're that white in their beliefs about how nonwhites can't build stuff)?
It's not coincidence that one of the Nazis' propaganda films was literally titled Triumph of the Will.
It can be poetic when the delusion of mind over matter hits material limits, though.
This is my favorite one of these lol

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I think it's either full calipers, or very terminal econ brain. I guess when the modern world is so focused on spreadsheets, it may be easy to forget that there is a world that humans are forced to interact with.
Silly Marxist, history is about who believes hardest in the idea of race and the nation and brings it into being. Everyone else loses and has their stuff taken from them, and rightly so.
I love this; I'll use this with chuds crying about le woke in video games.
