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.

A while ago, I watched a youtube video made by a lady who believed whole-heartedly in chemtrails. It was like her vlog or something. Anyway, she saw a plane gliding serenity across the sky with the "chemtrails" puffing behind it, so she went to her backyard and started spritzing this vinegar mixture she had in a spray bottle all over her yard. Apparently, to her, this busted the chemtrails purported effects.

I do wonder what the kind of person who think hurricanes are controlled by communists think they can actually do about it. The rational thing, if we suppose they believe this, would be to surrender immediately because these commies apparently can throw a mathematically maximum power hurricane at your coast at least once a month. Or do they think they can shoot the hurricane or spray vinegar at it?

The point where you spritz vinegar against the commie-chemtrail is also the point where all rationality has went out out the window some time ago.

There's alieniation here, sure. Theres people being let down by the system but by god these people are just deeply, deeply fucking stupid. Their worldview makes 0 sense even taken on it's own terms, as pointed out here.

The new age grifter community has an entire cottage industry around neutralizing chemtrails, commonly known as "cloudbusting". The vinegar spray bottle is a DIY version of that, there's also "orgon accumulators" or "amplifying towers containing ampoules of hexagonal water" or whatever these people come up with that sell for hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a piece, depending on the purported area of effect. The same "devices" (it's just random junk really) are often also marketed against "electromagnetic pollution" / 5G radiation and things like that. Shit's huge, and the field is already stratified enough that you have sites targeting a more traditional hippie crowd, others aimed at nazi esotericists and yet others that look like a sleek business pitch and specifically cater to techbros that are rn falling down this entire rabbithole through dubious anti-aging treatments, carnivore diet and other grifter circuits.

Or they can re-seize the means of destruction for the bourgeoisie
