The Dredge Tank
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.
Also, it's not like the Southerners faced many real consequences for losing the Civil War. This Israeli is acting like, after the war, all the Confederates were rounded up and tried for their crimes.
Hundreds of thousands dead and more maimed or blinded or traumatized for life, enormous economic carnage (not talking slavery just all the physical capital that was obliterated by strategic necessity), and the looting of state treasuries by every form of unscrupulous war monger?
War is always awful. Civil War is the worst kind of awful. That the confederates managed to reconstitute as a rump political force inside a generation didn't spare the Southern States from underdevelopment, exploitation, and grinding poverty for the next 180 years. If anything, the endless doubling down on a dream of insurgency just exacerbated their miserable state.
Few of the slave owners were the ones that fought and died. Those were poor whites almost exclusively. The plantation owners were absolutely fine.
Those same former slave owners are the ones that underdeveloped the South so that they could exploit cheap labor and continue superexploitation of Black people.
The Southern slaver aristocracy should have been executed.
There's still time
God, if only.
