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.

His pinned tweet:

The egalitarian values underlying socialist politics are incompatible with social conservatism. But they don't entail taking maximalist left-coded positions on every issue or incident that people draw culture-war battle lines over. You can just think stuff through as it comes up.

I give him like 5 years before he's openly right-wing.

Idk I think Fanon is pretty important for understanding the modern world. Don't see why you wouldn't read both

Incorrect. What we should do as principled Marxists is skim a single text (or watch a youtube summary of it) and then refuse to read anything else, and build our entire identity around our one True Correct book of socialist theory, as it proves our superiority to all others.

Marx: the immortal science

Fanon: idpol

Update, I just found a sketch of young Marx and found out his friends called him "the Moor".

Marx is cancelled and my political hero is now Murray Rothbard.

Never read anything written past 1826

Marxism was always meant to be dogmatic and closed-minded

Fanon wrote like 3 books. You can easily read Marx and Fanon.

God fucking dammit, why did Michael Brooks have to die? Now I have watch the people in his orbit fly off into the most bonkers bullshit I've ever seen

Repurposing something I wrote earlier:

Ben Burgis is a hack. He, along with Douglas Lain, used to be apart of Zero Books and made Youtube videos for that publishing house’s channel. They’re both Left Coms who complain about cancel culture and political correctness (Burgis was even on Rogan). They even made a few videos bashing Michael Parenti that appear to have been deleted from the Zero Books channel. [It looks like Lain reuploaded one of them onto his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI57956Ln5M] Even one of Lain’s videos is an interview with Glenn Greenwald with a thumbnail that says “Flashback: Glenn Greenwald is not your enemy”, while Burgis actually released a book with the title, "Canceling Comedians While The World Burns".

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
