      They think anyone that would dare disagree with them are either republicans or tankies. Especially when it’s involving pointing out flaws in their logic or something they have no idea about. Like for example how ACA is just Romneycare, which is why gop have no replacement for it

      _cryptagion happily self identified as one, I’ve also been informed Hexbear is commenting on this post, and it hosts such communities as Libjerk which is Tankies’ defensive reaction to Tankiejerk. You’ll see tons of overlap between openly Tankie rhetoric on ML and Hexbear to here, if you hang out on Flippanarchy long enough you’ll even see people quoting Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong unironically.

      You claim the two instances fight, but the votes tallies show a different story.

        at no point have I ever identified as a tankie. I mod the db0 Tankiejerk comm. I am also banned from Hexbear and ML.

        you are just too uneducated to understand that liberals are not leftists, and that there are more than one kind of leftist. the reason your brain cannot fathom this is because there is only one kind of liberal. a conservative one. which is why your party continues to this day to reach “across the aisle” to vote with literal fascists.

            you’re reading things that aren’t there. I didn’t even hint that I was a tankie. this is an anarchist comm. on an anarchist server. your insistence that we are tankies is your uneducated problem, not ours.

              It’s not that you self describe as a Tankie it’s just that when somebody insults Tankies you’re personally included and insulted and you defend them with fervor, that’s all. /s

                I have zero problem with people insulting tankies, nor do I subscribe to the “leftist unity” bullshit that a lot of other anarchists and commies preach. tankies are also explicitly forbidden in the rules of my mastodon instance.

                you just have the reading comprehension of a wet pile of regurgitated dog shit.

          Oh look, you get a cameo appearance lol

          By the way, what vote tally? You mean upvotes/downvotes? If so, they’re not even displaying tankie rhetoric here, just basic stuff that many leftists, even anti-tankie ones, agree with.

          Try it for yourself, post a few things critical of the CCP and Russia and see what happens.

        if you hang out on Flippanarchy long enough you’ll even see people quoting Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong unironically.

        Proof?

        You claim the two instances fight, but the votes tallies show a different story.

        If you ignore all the times Hexbear brigades us for calling out Stalin and Mao, and mock us for not wanting to support an authoritarian capitalist nation pretending to be socialist, then maybe.
