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.

Humans are productive without capitalism. If it rains, we build shelter. If we're hungry, we grow food or go find it. We make clothes to keep us warm or to cover ourselves. We make art. At no point in history has any society not been productive or not worked. The difference is that the people of those other societies got to keep the product of their labor. They didn't build a shelter and get paid 1/100th of the price and then were forced to live outside because they couldn't afford a shelter.
People are happy to work. They are not happy to work under capitalism. Under capitalism you produce and it is taken away from you and you get Chuck E Cheese coins that can only be used to pay the robbers for a fraction of what you produced. You build a skyscraper, you get a big mac. You build an airport, you get a hat.
I used to have paragraphs prepared in my head to dump at my friends on this topic but these days I just say something like "ants don't have jobs and they build lots of stuff" and it gets the point across
More often than not, it's "make a corporation millions more, maybe get a pizza party. Two slices maximum, each."
