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.

How do you handle these types of arguments in general?

heres some ways to handle it:

most people want to do meaningful, rewarding work. the people declared "lazy" or those adverse to any and all work are most likely (1) disabled in some way or (2) have mental health issues that need resolving first. there tiny fraction of people who even in FALSAC would do nothing but stare into space all day are probably practically non-existant

you shouldn't have to face the prospect of a tortuous death just to go to be exploited.

one i typically use on chuds or conservatives that want to force everyone to work, including the tiny amount of people in the U.S. on some sort of welfare or assistance: okay now they are your co-worker and partly your responsibility now. your job is on the line if they can't do theirs (this one only works IRL and only as a way to justify some sort of state welfare programs, not socialism)

i like the response; but i feel that a short glib humor laden sentence that people can accidentally read even if they disagree with it carries more impact than a well thought out paragraph that people will have to put effort into to reading.
