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.

I receive updates from the University of Austin substack only for the important-high-level-ideas

I'm just googling it now and, talking about ideas, boy! Plato sure had some interesting ideas about slavery. The amount of marble bust avis in this room must be off the charts.

This can't be anywhere close to the largest circlejerk of all time, but it has to be, at least, some critical nexus of circlejerkery or like, one of the more notable reddit-logo containment breaches.

had to look it up. literally year 0 ass unaccredited "school". check out these highlights.

Conservative philanthropist Harlan Crow provided office space in Dallas for UATX. Crow is a major donor to the university.

harlan crow is the guy who purchased Clarence Thomas and likes to show off his autographed copy of Mein Kampf, which he keeps on display at his house in a room full of Nazi memorabilia.

The UATX current business model includes (1) transparent pricing, (2) efficient use of public services (such as police) and partnerships with private industry (medical care, housing, and rec center), and (3) reduced administrative costs, employing virtual contractors outside the US.

i can't even imagine how dogshit lowest bidder virtual contractors are going to be at resolving issues. like damn, can't even talk to a person IRL.
