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.

"Any acts of genocide Israel chooses to do with the weapons and aid the US gives to them has nothing to do with -and does not reflect the official policy of- the US"

pretending like Israel isn't a colonial project of the US seems to be the latest lib move and it is deeply unserious. anyone who even implies that Israel and the US aren't completely interdependent--at so many levels of imperialist domestic and international repression--should be shit on from such a great height, they will think God himself has chosen to crap on them, specifically.

I take it as a sign that the relationship and it's poisonous outcomes are so clearly indefensible at this moment and wreaking havok on the democrats' typical smoke and mirror bid to keep the presidency, that libs must deny the existence of the relationship and gaslight everyone who brings it up to try and keep the subject dislocated from the focus of attention.

what's really wild is how they expect to keep this up for another 3 weeks while the genocide rages and threatens to expand in all directions, prosecutes by an actor that has no incentive to take their foot off the gas to appear any cooler heads in the US.

No politics in US foreign policy? What the fuck is the Drej Queen reading?

A favorite complaint i see in comms like MoG is that the war in Gaza is "off topic".

It's clear that since there's no defending the democratic position toward Israel, they will simply ban direct discussions of it.

The master stroke of Euro-American liberalism was creating a distance and an opacity between policy realities and the powers behind those policies, so that not only could there be plausible deniability, but there was always a local scapegoat that could be found- hence demonstrating the need for more foreign "involvement".
